T'was the week before winter vacation
and the only thing in my brain
was a message on repeat:
"They're driving me insane!"
Their presents are wrapped.
My grades are all done.
Only one thing stands between now
and two weeks of fun!
Just five days of school
'til our break does arrive.
One little week,
but will I survive?
My lessons are planned
with detail and care.
In hopes that the attention
of my students I will snare.
I picture my students
comfortable in their seats.
They are entirely engrossed
in their academic feats.
When out of my daydream
I did awake,
and returned to reality,
when out in the hallway I heard quite a clatter!
I sprang to my feet
to see what was the matter.
It was the class next door
that caused my heart to go pitter patter!
As I threw open the door,
and raised up my arms,
when what to my startled eyes did appear,
but eight tiny gift bags all in a row.
I knew in my heart
this must be a trick,
all students were in their classrooms,
oh where is St. Nick?
Back into my classroom
I did head,
with a grin on my face
and love in my heart.
To all my friends I wish you a joyous holiday season with your students and your families! May this week be calm and drama-free as you enjoy your winter parties, field trips, assemblies, and anything and everything else that you experience this week.
The best is yet to come!
