1. Show and Tell - Presenters will be given 5 minutes or so to "show us what you got," and nonpresenters are encouraged to ask any questions, offer and praises or critiques, and just generally discuss things.

2. Sometimes a shining moment.

3. Stress Reduction and Personal Growth.

4. Assignment (Don't worry - this is an assignment you can do over christmas break):

On the blog, I'm going to open a post for this reason:

Last year over Christmas break, I read a bunch of cool stuff, and came back to school with all sorts of ideas and things I wanted to do in my classroom. And I never told anyone else about them. So my kids benefited from my goods, but you guys, my colleagues, didn't. So, if you come across anything worthwhile, and you feel like sharing it, throw it up there.

And if you're of a different ilk than me, which is to say you actually are looking forward to a little vacation, and you do something cool, feel free to share your story as well.

And for those students, err, I mean teachers, that need deadlines, your blog response is due by Monday, January 4th, at 7:15 A.M., since that is when we are officially back.
