Got some GREAT tips today from Vaness over at
Pre-K Pages. She shares with us these top 10 tips on how to handle not only these holidays but year round vacation time, when the kiddos are home! ^_^
- Write all of your thank-you cards for the last day of school before vacation in advance using Tiny Prints or similar, all you have to do is sign your name.
- Shop on-line whenever possible to save time.
- Wrap gifts on one day only, not one at a time as they are purchased.
- Limit the number of cookie or gift exchanges you participate in.
- Purchase and address your holiday cards during Thanksgiving vacation or earlier.
- If you bake, do it on one day only and freeze the baked goods for use as needed.
- Do your December lesson planning in November and make sure you have everything you need for every lesson in advance.
- Have your sub plans ready to go in case illness strikes unexpectedly.
- Enlist parent volunteers to help out with holiday projects and parties.
- Allow time for yourself so you don't become overwhelmed
