:::bah humbug?

this last day before our winter break had to be one for the records. regretfully, we did not have the traditional classroom christmas party.


maybe it's that i miss having lucy and the kids here at home, thus the absence of holiday decorations in and out of my home, that i'm just not in the spirit (although i have been listening to my christmas music on the 'puter.). or perhaps it's our school's zealous focus on raising our test scores that has not allowed me to feel in the mood. i think it's a combination of both.


either way, we just treated it as just another day.


despite all this, a few of my students did present me with gifts. now i feel bad that they were deprived of this holiday celebration.
