Okay, lets see how good you all are, am making a little 'teachers survival kit' and so far I have

Plaster – To help you to heal those little hurts
Gum – To help you chew over the difficult questions
Eraser –to remind you that everyone makes mistakes once in a while.
Rubber Band – To remind you to be flexible
Paper clip - To keep things together when they seem to be falling apart
Tissue- To dry tears, yours and theirs
Button-
Pain killer- to deal with those little headaches
Tea bag- to help you chill out when you are in hot water!
Crayon- to add a little colour to a dull day
Penny-
Sugar- To remind you to say sweet in such a difficult job
Hand wipe- for those sticky little fingers!

But I need some witty thing for the gaps, help! I have about 2 hours, eek

I know someone will come up with something amazing

Oh, and "Penny - to remind you that children's thoughts are often as wise as your own", from 'penny for your thoughts'?

Band-Aid: For when things get a little rough.
Bath Salts: "To take you away." You deserve a quiet break.
Button: To remind you that some things are best left unsaid
Crayon - to color your day bright and cheerful.
Candle - for when you are up late grading papers.
Ear Plugs - when you just can't take anymore.
Eraser - to remind you everyone makes mistakes and they can be erased.
Flower seeds: to remind you that every day you are planting seeds for the future
Hugs and Kisses - for when you need a hug.
Jewel - because you are so precious.
Lifesaver: For when you've had one of those days.
Marbles - to replace the ones you've lost.
Mint - to remind you that you are worth a "mint".
Mounds Bar - for the mounds of confidence you give your students.
Paperclip - to hold it all together.
Peanuts: To get a little nutty.
Puzzle Piece - without you the class wouldn't be complete.
Rubber band - to remind you to be flexible.
Shiny Penny - to remind you, each will shine in their own special way.
Sponge: To soak up the overflow, when your brain is too full.
Starburst - to give you a "burst" of energy when you need it.
Tissues - to wipe away the tears...yours and theirs.

a prayer for you to say at the start of each day:

Teacher's Prayer

Spirits, Please help me,
To strengthen their voices,
bodies and minds,
To express their feelings and
control them sometimes,
To explore what's near
and venture afar,
But most important to love
who they are.

Well I can honestly say i've failed miserably this year, sooooooo much that I never got around to do, but hey ho, there is always next year.:rotfl:
After a very stressfull year with DD's op and hospital appointments I'm soooooo looking forward to seeing her little face tomorrow morning.

I just hope she sprinkles the reindeer food a little quicker this year ........

So a big thank you to all of you for your ideas/inspiration :T:T:T

:xmassign: Wow! It's Christmas!!!!!! Happy Christmas everyone! CandyB101 I know the feeling, I have made quite a lot of things, but there were so many ideas I didn't get around to trying. They're on next years list! Still wouldn't want to spoil our nearest and dearest with too many handmade goodies would we?

Hope you all have a great time and everyone likes our creations. Here's to Christmas 2010 and lots more crafting fun x x x :santa2:
