Christmas is near

Christmas is Near...

You may remember my Back to School Top Ten Linky...

Here's The Top Ten Reasons I know Christmas is Near!

10. I have paper cuts from construction paper, blisters from glue guns, and glitter in places I would rather not mention.

9. I twitch when kids ask me how many days till Christmas...

8.  Santa and his naughty list is a daily discussion in my classroom.

7.  The teachers on staff no longer have the energy or stamina to talk...we just grunt, eye roll, and sigh as we pass each other in the hall.  Nuff said...

6.  My trash can, recycle bin, and every inch of my classroom overflows with tiny multi-colored pieces of construction paper scraps, glue stick lids, lidless markers, and broken crayons.  

5. Glue sticks are lucky to last a half hour in my classroom. I may be found rocking in the corner saying, "dot, dot not a lot" over and over to myself.

4.  Christmas cookies are the new lean cuisine.

3.  Outside recess is something we can only dream about from the good 'ole days...
