Wonderful Excitement in Kindergarten

 

Well today, the Elf on the shelf was delivered and the students were jumping with excitement. They all commented, "it came from the real Santa at the North Pole because it is freezing cold". Last year was the first year we had the elf in the classroom and the morning SK remembered her name was "Stella" and the afternoon children remembered her name was "Rainbow Bella", Bella for short. Just so you know three names were suggested and voted on in the morning and three different ones in the afternoon. Of course the same elves had to return today. Some of the children shared about some of the things their elf has done at their house. It will be interesting to see what our elves to. Just before the afternoon children left the classroom today one of the girls looked at Rainbow Bella very seriously and said, "please don't make a mess of our room tonight because we like our room nice".

 

The Christmas Centre is open and today was the first day. The morning class voted for the name Santa's House and the afternoon class voted for Gingerbread House. Tomorrow both classes will have an opportunity to print the name of the house and decorate the sign. Hopefully I will be able to attach some pictures later on this week. Some of the children choose to make notes for Santa. They will also be given opportunities to write notes to Stella and Bella.
