Teachers are just as guilty as the students when it comes to counting down to Christmas Break. We hope the week before will go by super fast, so we can get to the much anticipated break. Sometimes, it just seems to last forever. How do you survive the week before Christmas Break?
10. Assign your students lots of book work, so they have to sit and work quietly and they don't bug you. (Please note, I am not doing that this week!)
9. Give your students a quiz/test so you can sit and do nothing while they take it. (Please note, I am doing this tomorrow- one down side, I then have to grade the quiz.)
8. Sign up to bring treats to the daily grazing table in the copy room
7. Make a deliberate effort to avoid the copy room at all costs- the temptation is just too great!
6. Partake in the Secret Santa gift exchange (sad face here because our school did not do one this year)
5. Get super competitive about the canned food drive at school and bribe, blackmail, and motivate your students at all costs in order to achieve the super classroom status as winner of the canned food drive
4. Continue counting the minutes until Christmas Break has arrived
3. Make long to do lists and continue to avoid and neglect them every night
2. Assign difficult homework to tortue your students
1. Just give up and resign yourself to the fact that despite your most amazing efforts, your students are not remembering anything you teach that week.
