Elves in the Classroom- Week 4

The last three days of school were pretty tame for my Elf Family. They didn't do much. 

Day 15- 12/21/15

The elves hung out by some of the books, that aren't checked out all that often.

Day 16- 12/22/15

Then they went to the top of the book shelf. They really love to read.

Day 17- 12/23/15 

As we all know, Elves love candy canes. They had to sit with my leftover candy canes on our last day before break. 

Elves in the Classroom-Week 3

The elves have all come and gone, but I realized I hadn't posted about their adventures over the last 7 days in the classroom.

Day 10- 12/14/15
The elves brought us MORE Christmas stories. We used one (not pictured) to start another writing assignment.

Day 11- 12/15/15
The elves hung out by my desk. Jingle Jangles wore an ugly sweater.

Day 12- 12/16/15
Elves decided to visit my Jesse Tree.

Day 13- 12/17/15
MY FAVORITE DAY! The Jangles Family brought the fourth and fifth graders their consumable science books that they had been waiting on since the summer. It was a Christmas miracle!! They even ripped a book, and started eating it.

Day 14- 12/18/15
The elves hung out in the "jungle" (aka where all my plants are housed).

Elves in the Classroom-Week 2

This is a little late, but December is crazy for everyone!! My elves are still getting into mischief. This time, they came bundled up and prepared for the cold weather. 

On Day 6, they hung out by the TV. They didn't do much, but it was fun to see them somewhere new.

On Day 7, the elves brought us new books to read aloud. We love being in New Jersey!

On Day 8, they felt like being a little religious. They went and sat in the middle of the Advent wreath!

Finally, on Day 9, they sat by the Three Kings. 

The Jangles Family is already getting into trouble this week. I'll update you all over the weekend on their progress.

Elves in the Classroom-Week 1

Our Elves have had a crazy week!! Here is just a brief overview of what they did:

Day 1: 11/30/15
Our elves joined us by sitting on top of a bookshelf by our spider plant. It was simple, but the kids were happy to name our new friends.

Day 2: 12/1/15
Our elves sat on our wire bookshelf by our Christmas Tree. They brought a suitcase full of clothes with them.

Day 3: 12/2/15
On Wednesday, our school had the Christmas Bazaar. The elves left messages for our kids to behave.

Day 4: 12/3/15
The elves brought in some magic powder, in case a mischievous child touches them!

Day 5: 12/4/15
The elves were upset with the plain red Starbucks cups, so they decided to decorate one.

Scout Elves Return!

Introducing the Jangles Family of Scout Elves for Room 5-21:

Meet Fizzy von Jangles, our female elf, who is married to Jingle Jangles, our returning male scout elf from last year. They also invested in a reindeer pet named Lt. Buddy Jangles. The Jangles family is happy to work in 5-21 this year. Reindeer pets are allowed to be touched, but the elves are not. My students made promises to themselves to continue spreading the Christmas spirit during this time of year, to help fill Lt. Buddy Jangles up with love so he can carry Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve.
