     Snowflake is enjoying her time in our classroom, but look what she brought us to read today!  We can't wait to read our new book, "Santa is Coming to Nebraska"!  

Thank you Snowflake for our new book! 

Wednesday, December 17th

     Snowflake was able to enjoy the two snow days doing what she loves best, building a snowman!  Since she knew that the snow would melt by the time we got back to school she found some toilet paper to build us our very own classroom snowman!  Thank you Snowflake! 

Want to build a snowman?

She has been waiting for us to come back to school for 4 days now, but we sure did enjoy our snow days! :)

Snowflake is feeling better!

     Snowflake must be over her tummy ache because she was nice enough to bring us beautiful coloring pages for the holiday season!  

Snowflake and her coloring pages!

Merry Christmas from Snowflake to all of you!

Thursday, December 11th

     Snowflake has a tummy ache from eating all that candy yesterday and needs to stay in bed today, but she made an exception so she could be in our classroom and turned the Kleenex box into her bed for the day so she could continue to keep a watchful eye on her wonderful 3rd grade class!  

Snowflake has a new bed for the day! 

Snowflake has delivered more Outstanding Behavior Awards!

SNOWFLAKE

Oh, no!!!  Snowflake got into the chocolate last night! 

That's a lot of candy for one little elf!

We caught her right in the middle of eating a Hershey's Kiss!

"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!!
