Well it's that wonderful time of year again......Christmas shopping. I didn't go on black Friday.....I just can't deal with the crowds, no matter how good the sale. I'm almost done shopping for my kids, (thank you e-bay!!!), Now I need to get for everyone else on my list. I'm trying to decide if I should buy for all my kids teachers, or just the main ones. Let me explain....G-man has 3 teachers, (reading, math, and science), Boo has 2 teachers, (math, everything else), and Bug has 2 teachers, (teacher and teachers aid). That's a total of 7 teachers! I want to scale it down to 4, but I feel like I'm being rude to the other 3 if I don't give them something as well, after all, they teach my children too. Besides, G-man see's his 3 teachers an equal amount of time everyday, so I don't feel right about leaving 2 of them out. Any advice on inexpensive gifts that I can give these seven ladies would be most helpful and appreciated.........
I finally got a pre-lit tree this year :-). The kids and I got it all decorated yesterday, and the hubby and I hung up lights outside today. I will try to take some pics tonight to post.
Y'all pray for me next week please!!! I will have 5th graders Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I really hope they don't give me a hard time. Especially having to deal with them 3 days in a row. I'll let y'all know how it goes. Speaking of subbing, I worked last Thursday and had a run in with the most disrespectful 9 year old I've ever met. 10 minutes into class I told him to get all his stuff together because he was not coming back in there that day, and took him to the office. At least I do realize, and let the kids know, that I don't have to put up with their crap. I will say this though, I really wanted to knock his teeth down his throat....thank God for self control.

I'd end up in prison if I subbed.
I hope you got all your lights up...I love Christmas, especially after everything is decorated and beautiful.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
This is why I don't teach. LOL. I used to do preschool and that was enough for me. I'll control my own child, but I can't do a whole class full of them! Kudos to you. I hope it goes well this week.
As for the teachers gifts...what about making fudge for them and putting it in a nice tin (they can be found at dollar stores)? That is what I always did as a child and it was greatly appreciated. I've got an easy yummy recipe if you want...just send me an email.
Good luck with the rest of your shopping. I've still got a ton to do.
You are WAY ahead of me babes, I am so behind on this holiday stuff...next year will be here before I am done with my Christmas shopping!!

This is a little late but I also had the same conundrum with Ady's teachers. Her Grandma suggested I go to Oriental Trading Company and get those gifts that come a dozen or so to a pack for dirt cheap. I did, and boy am I happy! We got 3 actual gifts and then some key chains that say "those who care Teach" plus some paper folding fans for her Grandma for under $40 including shipping!!
