Long story short, as soon as he walked into the room, I knew I was gonna like him, he just a twinkle in his eye and I loved his personality. . He was placed in the top group, did his work, and was an honor student. Sure he was outgoing, talkative, and questioned everything, but he was a wonderful individual who really cared about learning and his fellow students. Moral: Wait to know the child a little before you look at previous records. If they’re negative, take it with a grain of salt. Give everyone a chance and form your own opinion. ※ Lessons to engage, challenge, excite and be remembered long after they’ve left your classroom. ※ Copyright©2016 Deann Marin (Socrates Lantern) All rights reserved by author.

Get ready to deck the halls… with crayons! Our Color By Number - Christmas Decoration Shape Coloring Activity is here to make your holiday season a bit more colorful (and way less stressful than untangling actual lights). This festive coloring page has everything you love about the holidays, minus the pine needles in your carpet and the mystery of where that one ornament hook went. Here’s the deal: each section of this decoration shape is numbered, guiding you to fill in the perfect holiday hues. Think of it as a “paint-by-numbers” experience, but without the paint spills or that one red splotch that never quite washes out. With every shade you add, your Christmas decoration will start to look like something Santa himself might hang on his tree! Perfect for all ages, this activity is ideal for getting everyone in the holiday spirit, from kids to those "big kids" (a.k.a. adults) who still love a good coloring session. When you’re done, you’ll have a vibrant, festive masterpiece worthy of a spot on the fridge, or right next to your actual decorations. Warning: side effects may include sudden humming of “Jingle Bells” and an uncontrollable urge to bake cookies. Enjoy!
