Gotta love being a Teacher

You know, BESIDES the obvious reasons like:

Summer vacation,
Thanksgiving Break,
Christmas Break
& Spring Break.

And of course,
BESIDES making a difference in lives of middle schoolers & teaching them to love math.....

Let's call this reason #14 why I love being a teacher:
The Christmas Gift Stash:
Check out all the stuff I got from my students this year.
Lots of homemade goodies, a few candles, a couple ornaments, several boxes of See's Candy,
PLUS over $100 in Starbucks cards! Score!

When in doubt, ALWAYS, ALWAYS get your child's teacher a Starbucks (or Target) Gift Card.
Best. Gift. Ever!
Well, actually.... the best gift in my opinion....2 weeks off of school!
Happy Christmas Vacation!

  6. Yeah, the advantage of being a teacher in a more privileged area. Me, I received 2 cards, one homemade and very cute. But the 2 week vacation makes up for all of that.
