Last
year I decided to add an elf on the shelf to my classroom. I was a little
skeptical, but I knew many students had an Elf on the Shelf at their homes. This
ended up being a lot of fun, maybe even more fun for me! ;) So again this December I
pulled out the book and elf. My new class of students brought even more
excitement for our elf.
I
strongly recommend adding an Elf on the Shelf to your classroom. The students started each day
eager to find him and what trouble he may have gotten into. Here
are some places our elf, Wallie's adventures in our classroom this school year.
Adding
an elf to your classroom brings a lot of holiday joy and excitement, while still
reminding the students that good behavior is expected. Though December is a
short month because of Winter Break, the students are so excited
for the holidays they often have a hard time following
rules and directions. The addition of my Classroom Elf, has helped remind the
students that we are still in school, and everyone is watching! ;) Try it...I know
you will find some value and add a little bit of enjoyment during the month of December! Happy Holidays!
