Our Elf Has Arrived!!!

Today, we were surprised by the arrival of our classroom elf. Students couldn't believe that we had been sent an elf from the North Pole. We got to decide as a class a name for our elf. Each student submitted a name and a reason why. Then as a class, we voted on a name. So the name of our elf is.........CHARLIE!!!!

The next day, Charlie the elf was in our highlighter tub with highlighters all over the floor and he left a note saying HI!!!! SO we are off to a great start with a naughty elf. 

Then today, we found him like this in our classroom. 

He had a fun time with my tape dispenser and was tangled up in the tape. But he did leave all of the students a candy cane. 

Wonder what he will be doing tomorrow?????

Check back to see Charlie the elf and what he is getting into.

How Many Days Of School Are Left?

It is hard to believe that we are approaching the end of another year of school. We have 28 days of school left. It is always bitter sweet for me this time of year. Yes, I am ready for summer break but I will miss my students dearly. When the school year begins, it is so exciting. I love meeting my students for the first time. getting to build a relationship with them over the school year. My students are so special to me. They make such a difference in my job. I love being a teacher and I look forward to these last few days left with them. We have lots of work to complete before the school bell rings on that last day. Share with me your number of days left and how it makes you feel.
