We LOVE a good countdown to Christmas whether it's an advent calendar, wearing our favorite holiday attire, or watching our favorite holiday movies! But this year, we have something EXTRA special planned!

To help us cross some items off our to-do list while enjoying the festivities of the holidays, we have created 12 Days of TOP Teaching! For the next 12 days, we will be getting gifts ready, baking our favorite cookies, and more! What could be better than that?

Here is a rundown of the days:

Day 1 (Sunday, December 13th): Get gifts ready for people that are part of your teaching life

Day 2 (Monday, December 14): Treat yourself to a new pair of holiday jammies

Day 3 (Tuesday, December 15th): Plan your first day back from winter break

Day 4 (Wednesday, December 16th): Do something nice for someone else

Day 5 (Thursday, December 17th): Clean your classroom or digital workspace

Day 6 (Friday, December 18th): Complete your favorite holiday craft

Day 7 (Saturday, December 19th): Get a box to collect gifts that need to be taken back to your classroom

Day 8 (Sunday, December 20th): Drive around your community and look at all the lights

Day 9 (Monday, December 21st): Get caught up on your grading

Day 10 (Tuesday, December 22nd): Bake your favorite holiday treat

Day 11 (Wednesday, December 23rd): Write thank you notes for any gifts you received from families
