- Synopsis
- from the book Jacket: Pop quiz: how does Santa deliver his presents to good educators on Christmas Eve? Keep your eyes on your own book and find the answer! Nothing compares to the excitement of children as Christmas approaches. Imagine the havoc in classrooms across the country on the last days of school before the holiday! This pedagogical twist on the Christmas classic will delight teachers (and even students) everywhere. The traditional trappings of Christmas at school-the Christmas pageant, a visit to a local nursing home, crafts, and the room mothers' party-all end in chaos, while the teachers struggle to maintain order and, after school, get their own shopping done. In a whimsical touch, Santa Claus arrives in his flying school bus to save the day and honor the teachers for their selfless devotion to their students. Teachers are sure to see themselves in this humorous parody based on the true stories of their peers.
