North Pole Invasion

Last week we had a new arrival from the North Pole!  

There have been elves from the North Pole popping up all over school.  The students asked where was my elf and I explained how I had never had one before.  After investigating all the elves close by, we were beginning to feel left out.  So...we wrote a letter to three of the elves in nearby classrooms and hand delivered them.  We asked those elves to PLEASE ask Santa to send us an elf for our classroom.  The next morning we had a surprise delivery in the office from the North Pole!  Mrs. Pennington delivered this beautiful basket to our room.

Squeals of excitement could be heard all the way down the hall.  We enjoyed a special North Pole breakfast of snow covered donuts, kisses from Santa, and Reindeer kisses from Rudolph and the other reindeer.  We named him Speedy.  The students have been super excited to spot the elf each day.
