Happy New Year!

HaPpY  NeW yEaR!

~an original poem for our KB Friends:

January means vacation is done~

and a new year has begun!

The calendar's changed, the Shelf Elf has packed~

I've picked up some weight, and that's a fact!

Most of me longs for the good ole routine~

teaching and testing and noon Lean Cuisines!

While part of me begs to just stay home in bed~

watching and reading and covering my head!

But, it's onward and upward to 2013~

with promises of peace, love, and new skinny jeans!

Of well-behaved kiddos, an increase in pay (!!!)~

of laughter and kudos and many Snow Days!

Anything's possible this time of the year~

So, CHEERS and Have Fun... 

     because summer is near!!!

(Hey, it's all about perspective, right? ;)

M&J

Here's an original song, perfect to use as you return to your classroom 

to celebrate ANY new year! (we started singing it in 2002!)! 

Hello New Year!

(tune: "Frere Jacques")

Hello New Year

Goodbye Old

It's 2013 now
