"Elf on the Shelf"

The Elf on the Shelf

     This year the 3^rd graders wrote letters to Santa on Friday, December 5^th to ask him to send our reading class a scout elf.  Sure enough on Monday morning Santa made a special delivery to our classroom with our very own “Elf on the Shelf”!  We read the book and got all the details that we needed to know to make our Elf’s magic appear!  The first thing we must do is give her name so she can fly to and from the North Pole as we are gone from school.  Our beautiful elf was given the name, Snowflake!

     The book tells how the magic might disappear if the scout elf is touched, so the rule of the “Elf on the Shelf” states: “There’s only one rule that you have to follow so I will come back and be here tomorrow: Please do not touch me.  My magic might go, and Santa won’t hear all I’ve seen or I know.”  Although families are told not to touch their scout elf, they can talk to it and tell it all their Christmas wishes so it can report back to Santa accurately.

     We are excited to see what Santa and Snowflake have planned for the next two weeks! 

Can you spot Snowflake from afar? 

She made her first landing on the projector!!
