Besides that joyous occasion, there is another event that I am very fond of and that is gift giving. I love rewarding my students for all of the hard work they have been doing and giving them a little Christmas present. Most students don't expect it and it's fun to watch their surprised faces when they see a gift waiting for them at their seat. This year is no exception. This is quite possibly one of the best classes I've ever had so I wanted to reward them with something fun.
Instead of having a regular hum drum party with chips and cupcakes, I decided to give them some options, and since this class is in the morning, I gave them breakfast options. By unanimous decision, a Smoothie Party was in order. I dig it. So, I bought myself an early Christmas present...which in turn is a gift for my students as well. Double Whammy!
Here are some other super cute ideas!
How about some Grinch Pills
Or some Snowman Poop
Jazzing up a chocolate bar looks easy!
These are just too adorable!
Heehee! Did you mean to write snowman POOP? :) It made me laugh since the bag says snowman SOUP! You're funny...and darn you for posting so late. I should be in bed! Yay vacation in 3 days!
ReplyDeleteI feel like that kitty sometimes, I really do :).
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list with great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI had a high school teacher who let us decorate gingerbread houses one year, and it was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm really jealous that you get 2-3 weeks off. Really. jealous. I get 1 week. Boo hoo!
ReplyDeleteAnd our school district frowns upon Christmas parties and such... so ... no festivities in my classroom. :( This is turning into a depressing comment.
But it looks like you're having a great time - soak it up because you're lucky to have it! :D
I give mine the gift of finals. You're such a nice teacher :)
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome! I scored some hand sanitizers from Bath and Body works after the season for $0.29 each, so my older students are getting those! (Lame I know, but they're scented and have cartoons on them!)My youngers are getting lame-o pencils and a candy cane. (I teach ESL as a push-in teacher, so I have over 90 students!!!)
ReplyDeleteWhat great ideas! My boyfriend is a teacher, I'm going to pass these along to him :)
