6 more days!

YES!  Six more school days until Christmas Break!  And only 4 of those are actually worthwhile.  The last two days are consumed with assemblies and parties.

I am glad, because I very much need a break!  I know we just had Thanksgiving Break, but since I was sick for that entire break, I went back to work more worn out after the holiday than I was before it.  This time I will have two whole weeks to build myself back up again.

And as an added perk, after the Christmas holiday, I will only have two weeks left with this group of classes!  Then I will be DONE with teaching the youngest students for the rest of the year!  I am really looking forward to having the older kids!

Oh yeah, as a side note, BYU and the district student teacher placement liaison contacted my principal (and me) with the name of my prospective student teacher.  Of course, I wrote it down at work and can't remember it off the top of my head.  Drat!  It was Kellie ... something.  Hmmm. 

I used to mentor Art Education student teachers from BYU every year... when I taught in Orem.  This is the first time BYU has requested a placement now that I am out in the boonies.  I sure hope my student teacher is a local girl that lives near the school, so she doesn't have to deal with a beast of a commute!  What are the chances of that, though?
