Star of the Week-"Joey the Elf"

Joey decided he should be our star of the week this week!  He brought us pictures of himself along with his All About Me fact sheet.  We enjoyed learning all about him.  He also had a special friend visiting with him all day!

Friday Fun with Joey the Elf

We were starting to get worried today (Friday, Dec. 12) as we could not find Joey the Elf anywhere!  He finally showed up after lunch with a Candy Cane cookie mix for us to make!  We had to mix up 2 different types of dough (white and red).  Then we each got a little of each color of dough to roll into a ball and then into a snake.  Then we had to twist the white and red together and shape into a candy cane.  We baked them and had a delicious snack!  Thank you Joey.

Merry Christmas to Will, our E-hawk buddy!

Today is Thursday and the day for our E-hawk buddy, Will, to come to our classroom.  We are always so excited to see Will.  Today he had a special gift for us-a new game, Candyland!  Thanks Will.

We also had a surprise for Will.  We had all signed a card for him with a special DQ treat!

Jingle Bells with Joey

Today we found Joey on the CD player with some jingle bells and new Christmas CD for us!  We got to ring our own bells and sing "Jingle Bells!"  In the afternoon, we had to be a great audience for our Kindergarten and First Grade friends as we watched their concert rehearsal.  Good luck tonight!

A surprise gift!

Thank you to the book elves who left a very special package in our classroom today!

A very special guest reader!

Today we had a very special guest reader visit in our classroom....Mrs. Garrelts came to share a Christmas story with us.  Those of us who had her as our preschool teacher last year, were so excited to see her and get a chance to wish her Merry Christmas!  Thank you, Mrs. Garrelts!

Letters to Santa

When we arrived at school this morning, Joey the Elf, was busy writing a letter to Santa.  He also left us some paper and stickers so we could write our own letters to Santa.  We looked through catalogs to find pictures of different things we wanted to put on our wish list for Santa.  Joey will deliver our letters to Santa tonight.
