Elf Day

As part of Christmas Week, today was elf day. All of the kids came dressed in their best elf attire. They had a great time during the day with all of their elf accessories. We watched a Christmas movie at the end of the day to cap it all off. Here are some pictures from the day.

St. Nick

Today, we had a special visitor. St. Nick came to visit all of the kids at school. We took off one shoe, left it in the hall and went back to work. After a little time had passed, we went back into the hall to see if anything was left in the shoes. To our surprise, St. Nick left each and every boy and girl a small gift. Here are some pictures from today.

Dear Santa

It has been a long since I have updated, but we have been so busy. When we returned from Thanksgiving Break, we got right back into the swing of things. We have been working hard and definitely keeping busy. We have started long vowels which is posing to be a challenge for many. We will continue to work on them and they will become easier. We started this week by writing letters to Santa. Christmas is quickly approaching and the kids are getting excited. I take this excitement and turn it into a writing project. The kids did a great job using what we have already learned about letter writing to create their own letters to Santa. The kids asked for a wide variety of things. There were a lot of common things like American Girl Dolls, Lego's, a D.S., and different games. There were also some unusual things like a pink Escalade, duct tape, night-vision goggles, a microscope, and a hamster. The kids were quick to fill me in on some of the things that I had no clue what they were (it makes me feel so old). The letters turned out great and the kids are anxiously awaiting a response. I know the time before Christmas will go quickly, so we will try to enjoy it while it is here.
