I Made It!!

I made it to Christmas break!! Yay!!!

Oh Christmas Tree... and some patterns

This is our Christmas tree. The kids decorated it themselves. They loved getting to do that!

Making patterns with bear counters. They love hands-on math. 

I thought this one was great because it was a color and size pattern. Very smart!

Another pattern. :)

I'm Awful...

I got so irritated Friday I told my kids if they didn't behave as well as I knew they could I'd write a letter to Santa (our town is having a thing where the kids write letters to Santa and the newspaper picks them up) and tell him how bad they were being and that they needed to be on the naughty list.

I think this officially puts me on the naughty list.

My kids were stunned. They were like, "really? You're really going to do that?" I'm like, "yeah if you don't act right."

Jingle Bells For Teachers

One of my friends sent me this and I just had to post it. Too funny (and so true)! lol




Jingle Bells For Teachers

Dashing through the halls
With a list two pages long
Copier is down,
What more can go wrong?

A dad enrolling twins,
Oh no, they're in my grade,
I missed a meeting hours ago,
But my tray favors are made.

Oh...
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
One more day begins.
"Teacher, I forgot my lunch,"
Oh how the head does spin.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Sing it with a smile
After nine more days of this
We'll get to rest a while!

Before and after school
Appointments keep me here,
They don't understand
The holidays are near.

I've gifts to buy and wrap,
And cards to send away,
Christmas is a time of joy
(Or so the headlines say!)

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
One more day begins.
"Teacher, I forgot my lunch,"
Oh how the head does spin.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Sing it with a smile
After nine more days of this
We'll get to rest a while!
