Hello
Everyone!!!
I
don't know about you all but it is so crazy around our school. We are in full Christmas force. Our Christmas concert is next week and we
have been busy preparing decorations for the concert as well as practicing our
songs that we are singing. I have to say
though I just love this time of the year. The building feels like a different place -
LOVING the Christmas spirit.
My
class created shaving cream/glue snowman for our concert. We are performing Melton the Warm-Hearted Snowman and the little snowmen they created
couldn't be cuter. I found this
fantastic idea at this blog!
Guess
who arrived from the north pole this week?
Buddy our Elf on the Shelf!! The kids are super excited to see where he
is going to be hiding each day. They are
convinced that he sometimes moves his eyes and legs. This is the first year I have ever done Elf on
the Shelf with my kids and so far it has been so much fun! To see the joy on their faces when we opened
our present from the north pole was priceless.
As is the enthusiasm each morning to see who can find Buddy first!
