Whew - I'm beat!

Okay -so it's been quite a while since my last post.  SOOO much has happened. Spent way too much money on TPT for the cyber Monday sale (but I got really amazing stuff!), attended Fl Kindergarten teacher conference - I spent 2 days listening to and learning from Heidi (of Heidisongs fame) and the one and only Deanna Jump (I so want to steal her- for like a year or two!! AH-MA-ZING!!!!) We had our elf, Buddy, come to our class. the kid love it. I bought a regular house mailbox from Lowe's, added a Christmas bow and VOILA!! an instant delivery system for our daily letters.  the kids have sent things to the North Pole though the mailbox, too.
I bought the Elf on the Shelf super-pack from Jennifer Drake - she has the best idea - elf seeds. We are planting ours tomorrow - I'm so psyched!!
I even put the"snow" (confectioners sugar) in the freezer, so it looks and feels like snow!
We are winding down, 3 early release days left. Then 2 weeks of break - I have lots of planning, printing and laminating to do :)
January brings our new themes of snowmen (about 2-3 weeks) and penguins-polar animals (2-3 weeks).
I hope everybody has a rested, happy and healthy Christmas and holiday break!!
