I survived my first Christmas Party...

Today I survived my first Winter Celebration (aka Christmas Party) as a teacher. We had TONS of food, ran around like a chicken with my head cut off and enjoyed the craziness. We watched the Polar Express in the morning, iced gingerbread cookies, drank hot chocolate and enjoyed each others company.

By 1:30 when we went to specials at a different time, I was ready for them to leave hyped up on candy and sugar. :)

I am so thankful for my job and my children in my class and remind myself everyday they are the reason why I teach.

Tales of Multiplication Nothing....

My life is consumed with my class, which I love, and also trying to throw together a bomb.com Christmas party that will rock these kids world next Friday.

But for now my life is consumed with grading multiplication quizzes daily. We are working towards a pizza party and what is interesting, is that yes they hate taking them, but when I grade them and see the light bulb turn on when they have missed tons the day before and then make a 100 on that day, i get excited and want to dance for them!!!

As I get ready to fill my classroom with sugar plums and Polar Express filled stuff, I am pretty stoked about PJ day next Friday :). A great way to top off the Holiday Season. All that will be missing will be Casey to come help ring the bell with the children.

Stay Tuned..... Elf on the Shelf updates later this week. :)
