0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your host, Bridget Spackman and Michelle Farray, and we are here to make
0:07.0	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:13.8	On the first day of top teaching my true teacher game to me, guys, I screwed it up. But I was so close and I feel like I have
0:24.5	vocals of an angel. I'm just saying. All right. We're just kidding, guys, but it is going to be
0:30.8	an episode of 12 days of top teaching. So in today's episode, it's going to be a little bit
0:35.1	different. We are going to share with you
0:37.7	12 days of top teaching. These are little tasks that you can complete each day that will help you
0:45.2	relax and get ready for the holidays as a top teacher. I love that. It's going to be a mixture
0:52.0	of things to do as a teacher and some self-care.
0:56.1	It's going to kind of go back and forth, which is really, really nice. But first, let's hear

I am so excited about this episode and I think it's just because
1:30.6	we have so many fun little things that just kind of warm my heart as a teacher and it's going to
1:35.3	make you feel like you're actually enjoying the holidays versus just allowing it to pass through
1:40.9	just like another year. So keep in mind, guys, that we, Michelle and I both celebrate
1:46.9	Christmas. So this episode is geared toward Christmas, but you can certainly change the dates
1:51.5	to do a countdown to any other holiday if you do not celebrate Christmas. Absolutely. Now,
1:58.0	the 12 days of Christmas have been done in so many different ways. Growing up,
2:02.3	I remember watching a lot of ABC family, which I think now is called freeform. I don't understand
2:08.2	how that happened. But okay, they would always do 12 days of Christmas where they would play a different
2:13.9	Christmas movie like every day leading up to Christmas. And I loved that time of year.
2:19.0	And as you know, we are huge fans of the office. And when I think of 12 days of Christmas, I think of
