I haven't done a tally of what I've received yet (I did look at one thing which was a $20 Krispy Kreme gift card, $20!!!!!), but while my week was super busy, YESTERDAY was a bunch of fun (but also hard work), here's the total from that:

approx. 60 snow globes made in Chemistry.
approx. 20 eggs broken (in egg drop project in physics) out of about 60 dropped.
32 AP Physics quizzes given-but I left them at school for the break, just couldn't face grading more right now (I was up past midnight Wed. & Thurs. evenings grading this week).

Please note that my finals are the 4th week of January or something like that.

Enjoy your break, Lisa, it's well deserved!!

Sounds like we're all busy! But I'm just devastated that I did not get a trebuchet with Barbie head. That would have earned extra credit.

Hang in there!

Why do I have the feeling that you're more than ready to mutilate Barbies for me, dude?
