Our classroom elf arrived from the freezer, North Pole.
The kids this year named her Jingle Bells. I went a little overboard with some of the little gifts she brought this year. My own kids are all grown up, so I don't get to experience that magical moment of little faces lighting up. She left two gifts a week.
- Pencils- so they could do their very best on our district writing test.
- Hot Cocoa- To warm them up on a cold day
- Candy Cane Seeds-(they were just Tic-Tacs with candy canes on them)
- Elf Hat-They looked adorable, they could wear them in class all week.
- Books for the classroom
- Lights for the classroom
- A giant gingerbread cookie- He jumped off the pan and we had to chase him around the school. We had been reading every version of the Gingerbread man/boy/babu/girl... there was
Our Gingerbread Man and our Magic Candy Cane Seeds

I was out sick one day so she left a note stating that if they were good for the guest teacher the magic seeds just might grow. When I returned, those seeds magically grew into candy canes.
Only one student asked me why the candy canes were all wrapped in plastic. I quickly replied it was to keep them clean from the special sparkle soil-LOL He turned his head to the side and said Hmmm.

We also did some directed elf drawings thanks to some help from the video from Learning with Mrs. Parker. I was so impressed with how these turned out.

I'll be back with more to share of some other festivities from my last three weeks. I wish I had more pictures. I was so busy it seems that I was too busy to take photos. I need to teach the kids how to use the iPads to take pictures for me.
