Warming Up A Chilly Crowd

I spent the day bringing Christmas cheer to the little heathens (remember I'm a heathen, too). Boy, they just ate it up. The bigger kids, too. The 5th and 6th grade class has always been a tough sell for me. But they are definately warming up to me. And today was proof! They didn't even grumble when I asked them to put on the Santa hats and have their picture taken. We played Christmas bingo, too, and I'm really proud of the way they are coming along with phonics and vocabulary. Think the whole day went pretty well, considering I was working with only 4 hours sleep under my Santa belt. Four down, twelve to go. 'Twas more than a week before Christmas, yada yada "And to All a Good Night".
