One of the first things I learned as an educator is that you have to adapt. Sometimes you have to adapt within the minute! During the holiday season it is especially true. There are many assemblies, Christmas concerts, parties, etc. As an educator you can either fight and complain about the interruptions or you can embrace them. There is no need to fight them because they are going to happen whether you complain or not. Go with the flow and enjoy the season. Remember, as an educator you can only do what you have time to do. Smile with the students and let them know that you care about them and the other things they do just as much as you do about them learning the material for the next quiz or test. Students will appreciate getting to know you as a "human being" and not just as a teacher.
Enjoy the holidays and may all of you have a great 2013! Be safe.
They will also enjoy learning to play spoons.
