This isn’t the song you sang happily with your grandmother around the piano on Christmas Eve. If you’re new around here, I’ve been counting the days down until Christmas vacation like a first grader with an agenda to play in the snow for 14 days straight.
Who says teachers don’t need a break?
This – is the teacher edition.
::ahem::
The day before Winter Break, my excited students gave to meeeeee:
twelve opportunities to say “STOP TALKING!”
eleven minutes to eat my lunch
ten personalized stationary cards
nine weekday mornings to eat my oats as slow as I wish
eight acts in the fifth grade talent show
seven hours of a splitting headache
six(ty) minutes of a holiday sing along
five golden riiiings (I had to.)
four beautiful Holiday cards
two coffee mugs
and one homemade flying goose ornament
I only wish I could have five more – so I could have had six geese a laying.
Question: What is one of your “days of Christmas” this year?
PS – 3 truths, 1 lie… part II has been updated. I think I stumped all but Charmaine!
PPS – Today is your last day to enter in my Larabar giveaway! It ends tonight at midnight. Happy entering!
