I wish it could be Christmas every day

So my favourite time of year is nearly here! Butterfly School is in full Christmas production mode (do I hear Oscar preparations?!) but I am still spending every spare moment indulging in my addiction to teaching blogs and in particular at this time of year, with the craft related ones.

My current top 3 Chrismassy activities I intended to inflict on my little Caterpillars

1. Absolutely gorgeous paper plate Christmas trees, I am considering adapting this into a Christmas card front (maybe just one?) 

I Heart Crafty Things

2. Reindeer and penguins!

Kerry's Craft Blog

3. Wreaths to decorate the classroom (and what brilliant fine motor practise!)

Our small-town Idaho Life

Reason Number 1

Why after x-number of years of teaching am I starting a blog? Well Reason Number 1 is its report writing time and over the years I have perfected my procrastination technique to a fine art. But Reason Number 2 is that I am addicted to reading other teaching blogs. I make no pretence at having new and innovative ideas, but I am hoping to gather together some inspirations of mine which help to change my teaching practice (and make me into a Butterfly Teacher!)
