Oh, the weather outside is frightful. But the fire is so delightful, and since we've no place to go. Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! -Dean Martin
My version - "Oh, the weather outside is frightful. But the classroom lights are so delightful, and since Shelia is cooking. Let's go to school! Let's go to school! In Wishram!" - Mr. Schumaker

6. I have received several comments from staff members concerning Goggle Chat. Our ability to use chat has become a useful tool and allows almost instant communication between all of us. We have incorporated it into almost all of our communication procedures. But even a good thing can have its limits. When you are upset about something and want to communicate with another person through chat, word strokes can be misinterpreted. It is best when you need to communicate your feelings or concerns- do it directly, person to person. That way, communication is straightforward and concise, without (punctuation, boldness, font size, or spelling) getting in the way:)
CEL TO PONDER:
CEC5 Norms for learning
Classroom norms are evident and result in patterns of interaction that encourage risk-taking, collaboration, and respect for divergent thinking and students’ cultures. Students self-monitor or remind one another of the norms.
A Little Humor:
-How does a gingerbread man get around with a broken leg? He uses a candy cane.
-Why did the Christmas turkey form a band? It had the drumsticks!
-What do snowmen eat for breakfast on Christmas morning? Ice krispies!
-What do gingerbread men have on their bed? Cookie sheets!
-What's red, white, and blue at Christmas? A sad candy cane.
-The Grinch steals Christmas from Santa, Chuck Norris steals Christmas from the Grinch.
Reflection:
For that kid in all of us. Our very own Christmas Countdown.
