Happy holidays, everyone! I hope all my fellow educators out there are enjoying a much-deserved break before we gear up for testing season! (Sorry, no coupons, sales or bonus buys are associated with this much anticipated season, but boy-oh-boy your job sure is on the line!)
To keep you all in the holiday spirit for a few more days, here's a little Christmas ditty from me to you. Enjoy!
Many thanks to Save Our Schools NJ for inspiring me with their great post on the upcoming PARCC test!
