Elf Fun!!

We had a special delivery at the beginning of December from the North Pole!  Our principal and assistant principal did an awesome job of playing along and brought the package to the classroom.  The box was ice cold (since it was directly from the North Pole).  The kids were all so excited to feel it.  We opened it up and read the story right away.  It was nice to be reminded of their innocent excitement.

Of course our first job was to give him a name.  We brain stormed a list of all the names that the children thought of, then voted the list down a couple of times.  We were left with these names...

and ended up with Spider Man...really?!?  Anyway, I call him Spidey.

Spidey has had quite a bit of fun in our classroom the last couple of weeks.  Here are some pictures of his adventures.

Just hanging around, learning some letters.  Later that day he managed to wiggle out of his little hat and fall down.  Yikes!

 

Playing with some math manipulatives.

Looks like somebody got caught in the cookie jar!

Spidey can definitely spot naughty and nice behavior from up here.

Thanksgiving Flashback

 

 

I didn't get a Thanksgiving post up like I had planned, but I still wanted to share these super cute turkeys that we made.  I started with this adorable turkey pattern from Teachers Pay Teachers, then changed the wings by using handprints instead.  They turned out so cute that I even had a dad ask for the pattern when he came to pick up his son so that he could make one with his little girl.

 

Here is the link to the original turkey pattern.  http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/A-Free-Goofy-Turkey-Pattern-165974
