Santa has been sending Jingle, a friendly scout elf from the North Pole, to Room 203 to watch and report on whether Nelson’s Grade 3s are being naughty or nice! She keeps an eye on who is filling their classmates’ buckets during the month of December. Looks like she’s back and having some fun!
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.
