Snack fun!

Here are the students who were in school today.  (Thomas and Autumn were here too, but they were at gym).  As you can see, half our friends are absent.  So, teacher let us watch a movie during our snack.  Then we played fun learning games, like the card game War.  

We are hoping for some much wanted snow.  The weatherman says a storm is heading our way...almost enough to close our school for the day!  

LET IT SNOW...LET IT SNOW...LET IT SNOW...

Here is a peek at our classroom door.

Here is the wall that starts our door.  The theme was "Christmas songs".  Ours is "We wish you a Merry Christmas!"

The actual door to our classroom.  We had so much fun creating our twins!

Here is a full view...hope you enjoy our door as much as we do!

A Moment of Fun!

Our Elves, Snowflake, Snowball, and Kenny arrived again today, and look where they landed!

Surprise!  We caught Chad off guard while he was busy working on his picture!  Tee Hee!

LOOK!  Kaylee found the elves right away this morning.  They sure  are tricky to find some mornings!  Good job Kaylee!

A really COOL story!

Teacher read us this really fun book.  It is called An Elf on a Shelf.

Wouldn't ya know it?  We have not one elf in our classroom...BUT...3 of them.  

We had to name our elves.  Teacher had us all right three names on paper.  We then put them into a tub.  Teacher reached in (we made sure she didn't peek), and drew out three names.  We would like to introduce: Snowflake, Snowball, and Kenny.  Snowflake and Snowball are twins.  (That means they look alike and have the same birthday!).  Kenny is the elf with blue pants. 

If you haven't read the story, here is a short version.  Santa send an elf to watch over us.  We have to name the elf for the "magic" to begin.  The elf reports to Santa each night and comes back everyday, in a new spot.  We have to find the elf daily!  BUT we can't touch the elf or he looses his magic. AND he can't talk to use..Santa said!  We really liked the story and we hope you will read it too!  

Fun Learning!

The other day Marcella, Austin and teacher played several games of HI HO Cherry-O!  We had fun.  Marcella and Logan each won a game...poor teacher never won a game!

Austin was very proud of himself.  He completed this puzzle all by himself!  Deserves a great spot here!  

Door Decoration Contest!

Our school is having a door decorating contest.  The theme is "Christmas Songs".  We choose to do "We Wish You a Merry Christmas".  We will post a picture of our door when it is finished.  Can you guess what it might be???
