The Little Old TEACHER Who Lived in a Shoe!

The last 2 weeks have been wonderful!  I have loved every minute spent with my family and friends.

It's going to be a little hard going back tomorrow - well, waking up in the morning will be!

I don't know about you, but January here in Toronto means snow, snow, SNOW!!!  And it's already here!  And with the snow comes boots, snowpants, hats, mittens, scarves, extra socks...okay, I can go on and on.

Every year (and it's already starting!) I have parents writing me notes saying that their child lost a mitten or hat and when I write back asking if it was labelled the answer is almost always 'No!'.

I invested in Mabels' Label's a few years ago and swear by them!

(You can click on the top right picture on my blog to take you to their site.)

My daughter and son have these labels everywhere - I mean everywhere!  Each mitten is labelled, the inside of their coats, hats, scarves, even extra socks are too!

It's with high hopes that this year every one of my kinders have their belongings labelled too.

So before I go off to bed - yes, bed - I need my sleep, people! - I'm leaving you with this cute little note that we are sending home tomorrow with our kinders.

Do you remember the nursery rhyme "The Little Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe"? 

Well, this poem is similar to that one just tailored for us teachers.

I've had this in my files for years and have no idea where it is from!  My copy is actually hand-written with hand-drawn graphics.  If it's yours or know who I can give credit to please let me know.

Hope you can use it (and more importantly, if you do use it, I hope it works!).

Have a wonderful week!
