Ahh, the last week of school before the big winter break. I don’t envy teachers this week. It’s a super busy week, with deadlines, papers to grade, projects to hand out or get back. Plus, if it’s snowing – or you even have the chance of snow – there’s no way you are going to get your students to focus. Add to that, if you are an elementary school teacher – the excitement of the holidays.
For new teachers, I would think that this week is more hectic than others; and a bit more stressful than even the first day of school.
Originally I had planned on giving out resources to aid educators in celebrating all the holidays found in December. But then I remembered my years as a teacher, and a substitute (which you can just forget about accomplishing anything if you are a sub) – and thought better of it.
So, here’s to you teachers, instructors, classroom aides, and educators. Good Luck this week. Do your best to enjoy this time with your students. And go drink a big glass of Martha Stewart’s eggnog (www.marthastewart.com/recipe/favorite-eggnog)
