Learning some healthy habits with Mrs. Schiek

We had Guidance with Mrs. Schiek Tuesday morning.  She read us a book about staying healthy and needing to use a tissue not our fingers in our nose!  We then got to practice using a tissue and getting a squirt of hand sanitizer to clean our hands.  Hopefully we will also remember to cough into our elbows.  We want to stay healthy and be able to be at school.  We also want to keep our families healthy.

A North Pole breakfast

Joey welcomed us back to school this week with a special North Pole breakfast!  We enjoyed his mini donuts!

Friday Fun with Joey the Elf

One of our classmates spotted Joey right away this morning.  He had a great view of the classroom as he was hanging out up on the projector screen cord where he could see everything!  Today he brought us a bag of mini m & ms to use when we made our gingerbread cookies.  Thanks Joey!

Star of the Week

Morgan is our Star of the Week this week.  She shared her favorite toy, book and several pictures with us.  We loved the pictures of her dog, Bella, and her baby puppies!

Guest Reader!

Joey the Elf was doing a great job reading to himself today during our DEAR time.  He was reading The Night Before Christmas.  We all followed his example and did a great job reading quietly!

Excitement with Joey the Elf!

We were searching all over the classroom Wednesday morning and found our new friend, Joey the Elf, by the Christmas tree.  He had a special gift for us-peppermint lotion, to use on our hands after we come in from recess!  It smells sooo good!

Welcome to Joey the Elf!

We received a special package in the mail today in Readiness.  It was a classroom elf from the North Pole.  We were so excited by the note from Santa explaining how our classroom was chosen to receive an elf this year and we would need to give him a name!  We all thought of a name for our elf (it is a boy) and we wrote the names on a piece of paper and put them in a hat.  The name that was pulled out was "Joe" and we decided to call him "Joey."  Joey kept a watchful eye on us all day and we were wondering where he will be when we return to school tomorrow.
