Yesterday morning Room 20 came into our classroom to quite the surprise. Sitting on one of our lights was a little elf! We had no idea how he got there or why he was there. What made it even more confusing, was that a book had been left on Mrs. Deyoe's desk.
Of course we had to investigate! We read the book together and discovered our elf was in fact one of Santa's messengers. Each night he would fly back to the North Pole and report to Santa. He would then return and be with us during the day.
The first thing we had to do was come up with a name for our elf. We brainstormed several ideas then took a vote. Buddy was the favourite, so Buddy it was! We also decided that since we would have a daily visitor, we would incorporate him into our daily routines. Now for the month of December, instead of our morning job being our Math Journal, we have a writing activity. Each student reports on Buddy's adventures.
This morning Buddy was once again back, and he was in a new spot! He was hanging out on top of our chart stand!
Brainstorming for Elf names.
Where we found Buddy this morning!
Working on our Elf reports!
