Last Day of School!!!

Today is my last day of school before Christmas break!! 

Michael was done on Friday, although his finals week nearly killed him.  He's happily enjoying sleeping in and bumming around the apartment for the next month.  :)  I think he mentioned something about Zelda also...  I'm glad he's got a break!  He deserves it.  He's had a long and tough semester.

As for me, I put off my grading and grade cards until the last minute.  Luckily, today is the "Winter Fun Day" here at school, so I have lots of plan time!  I'm almost done with grades, but still have a few more...  They'll be done by the end of the day. 

I wish I had Winter Fun Day when I was a kid.  My students have had different centers, making Christmas cards, hearing Christmas stories, playing Christmas Carol bingo.  They'll come back to my room in about 20 minutes and we'll work on Elf Glyphs (I'll try to get some pictures).  Then we'll read How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  Then they are off to lunch!  Not much for me to do during the first half of the day but grading.  In the afternoon they'll watch a movie and have a party.  Pretty good day if you ask me!

I'm looking forward to the next few days when Michael and I will both have off and can enjoy some time together.  Christmas Eve will be especially fun!  We're going to have Fondue and use our fancy new Christmas dishes!  Pictures will be up shortly after Christmas.

Merry Christmas!  Have a safe and happy holiday!!  Love you all!!
