Jingle Returns!!

Last year a friendly scout elf was sent by Santa to Room 203 to watch & report on whether Nelson’s Grade 3s this year are naughty or nice!
She’s back and it looks like she’s got a new pet reindeer!

I can’t wait to see who’ll be the first to spy the new spot she’ll be watching from each day! I hope her daily report to Santa includes many acts of kindness that she witnesses in our classroom.
