Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer





Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows
all of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games
then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee (yippee)
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
you'll go down in history."

Well Rudolph he didn't go for that

he said "I see through your silly games"
How could you look me in the face
when only yesterday you called me names?

Well, all of the other reindeers man,

well they sure did feel ashamed,
"Rudolph you know we're sorry,
we're truly gonna try to change"

Students Like You


With students like you, teaching was easy
I looked forward to each day;
Your wondering minds kept me on my toes;
You made teaching more like play.

Students like you make teaching rewarding;
You paid attention, you gave me
A sense of accomplishment.

Thank you for being the way you are,
For making my job so much fun.
I’ll remember how good you made me feel,
Even when my teaching is done.

With love
