Merry Christmas!
What a sweet, sweet time of year! The hustle and bustle of this time of year brings up many things for many different people. For me, the end of a semester and the craziness that brings along with trying to get into the Christmas spirit was difficult for me this year. I am very lucky to get 2 weeks off to recoup and rest a little...that's hard for me at times...but I really try.
I have spent a few days out of my time off babysitting to make the lives of those parents that still have to work a little easier. What fun it has been! A parent asked, "is it easier in the classroom or at the home?" and what an interesting question to think about. My response was almost instant by saying "in the home" and on the second day it is true for sure. There is a different vibe in the home and a different kind of responsibility of that of a classroom teacher.
As we loom towards the new year and beginning again on January 5th it's time to have fun with all things Winter. This is one of my favorite times of year because of all the fun activities and things to study.
