T’was the Week Before Christmas A story by Mr. Warren December 2012 I hope you and your family have a great Holiday Season! I’ll look forward to seeing you in 2013! -Mr. Warren
T’was the week before Christmas when all through the school, all the children were busy, obeying each rule! The stockings were hung in the hallway with care.In hopes that Saint Nicholas would leave gifts in there.
The children were nestled all snug in their seats, Withvisions of Christmas time, candy and treats.
With Noah at his table, close to the map,Ava looked ready for a long winter’s nap.
When out in the hall, there arose such a clatter,I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter. Away to the doorway I flew like a flash,bumped into Raghav and spilled his Warren Cash.
The kids were curious, and wanted to know,“Who’s at our door?” Justin asked, “Is it time to go?” When, what to my wondering eyes should appear?But my kids all standing with a smile and a cheer.
Next came a knock and Aiyana answered it quick.In came her mother with mail from Saint Nick.
She opened a letter and started a game. Then I whistled and shouted and called them by name:“Now, Kasey ! Now, Kyra,Now, Aarna and Carsyn ! Come, Katelyn ! Come, Layla ! Come, Phoebe and Kadin !To the front of the class, get ready for the hall! Now I say, now I say, now I say ALL!”
As I looked at the children, I held the clue high, Then I asked for a reader to give it a try. Christine read, “Here’s a fun puzzle for you. To figure it out, you must read every clue.”
And then in a minute we all had a grin, so we went to the library. And went right in.Ms. Kerr was there, checking out a book.Kavish asked, “Do you have something for us? Will you please take a look?” She found another letter that Santa had put, on a shelf in the library close to her foot. Parthraised his hand to read the clue back,It spoke of a place where you might eat a snack.
This clue was all wrinkled but sounded quite merry. We went to the lunch room, to find our next query. The lunch room was empty, nobody was there. David added, “We must find that clue! Does anyone care? We searched the cafeteria from ceiling to floor,Finley found the clue, hidden by the door.
It was my daughter, who found the next clue on the shelf, Alaina read it carefully all by herself. It sent us where you go when you’re hurt or get sick.“I know,” said Haily, “To the nurse’s office! Let’s get there quick!”
A wink of my eye and a nod of my head, “To Mrs. Cassell’s office!” Ithoughtfullysaid. We spoke not a word but went straight to her door,Caleb noticed a bag on the floor. Down the front hallway,Our class walked in a hurry,like tiny little mice when they run in a scurry. I held the goodie bag over my back.Once in our classroom, Weemptied the sack.
With the gift exchange finished and the party all done,I dismissed my students ‘cause the break had begun. I said as they board buses and walked out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
