DECEMBER!

It is December and this girl has made it (almost) half way through her first year of teaching! Oh my! I am getting into the Christmas spirit and have many festive projects up my sleeve. 

Last week my kiddos began applying to become elves! Once again this form was a freebie and I can't remember where it came from, but it is awesome!! I had the kids fill out the page (not pictured) that had questions about whether they liked Christmas music, had played with toys, and so on. It was so cute!! There was a section for fingerprints too!! This was my sample elf and letter. Persuasive writing at its best! I think the kids laughed for literally 5 minutes when I showed my elf to them! Ha ha! I can't wait to get the whole group of elves together! 

Here are my kiddos journaling about our travels around the world for Christmas. You can see their "suitcases" pictured. 

.A sweet moment I was able to capture to remind us that we are all in this together. Like we say every morning, "We promise to help each other learn."
