We’ve had a visitor in our classroom–a shelf elf.
He arrived on December 1st with a letter of introduction and instructions that we should name him. After a discussion and vote, we decided on: ‘Alfie‘.
We each have a daily journal and are keeping track of his adventures each night by writing a sentence and illustrating it.
Since he arrived he has been up to some mischief in our room. The first night he was left alone he made a naughty and nice list…he put ALL the students on the nice list and Ms. Fischer on the naughty list!!!
The second night he got out the finger twister game, and played with a few of the Barbie dolls. He set up his game right in the block building area…so the students had to build elsewhere. That naughty elf!
Last night he got into the magnet letters and tried to spell our 5 words of the week. He got all the letters right, but had them all mixed up. It took us a while, but we finally figured out what he was doing and helped him unscramble the words.
