The week before winter break has its own kind of energy, doesn’t it? The kids can sense freedom in the air, the teachers are running on caffeine and sheer determination, and the to-do list seems to have doubled overnight. Between class parties, candy canes, and last-minute wrapping, we all deserve a little something that makes us smile.
So, this week, we’re delivering three small gifts just for you—no wrapping paper required. Think of them as a little holiday care package from our team to yours:
- Music to lighten the mood—a playlist made for teachers who’ve earned the right to sing, sway, and maybe even grade with a smile.

- A Joy Jar printable—your way to collect small moments of happiness, one note at a time, all year long.

- Printable bookmarks for January — use them for your own reading stack or have them ready for your students to color on that first morning back from break.
Because while we can’t promise to take away your stack of ungraded papers or refill your coffee mug, we can offer a few moments of joy, connection, and calm before the bell rings on 2025.
So go ahead—unwrap your gifts below, and take a well-deserved break. You’ve more than earned it.
