More Elfish Adventures....

As you can see, Jingle was very worn out last Friday from all of his trips to from the North Pole. We caught him snoozing in the big mitten with our storybook animal friends from Jan Brett's book, The Mitten. On Monday, he enjoyed quietly hiding away during our snow day. Today, Jingle must have heard that we were making Fruit Loop necklaces, so he thought he'd better make sure that we got a good batch of loops. Head first, Jingle? Really? Would Santa be proud of your manners?

Jingle the Elf is At It Again!

Oh, that naughty little Jingle, our Elf on the Shelf, was up to some serious mischief in our classroom. It would seem that he got very hungry while visiting us! When Mrs. A. and Mrs. D. left at night, he crept into our snack box and helped himself! He had sticky fruit filling all over his face from a Nutrigrain bar. And then he left granola bar crumbs all over the place! Our friend C.C. came up with a solution: he left his very own special bear with us overnight to stand guard over the snack box so that Jingle stays out. Silly elf! Well....... we can only wonder what he might be up to now......

Have a look at the evidence:

The Elf on the Shelf has Arrived in Kindergarten!

 
Mrs. Aldersey, Mrs. DeBruyn and all the kinder kids were so excited when we discovered that Santa has sent a scout elf to keep an eye on us in kindergarten. Each night, he flies back to the North Pole to give Santa a report. The children were all thrilled to tell us that some of you have got a scout elf keeping an eye on things at home, too. We named our scout elf "Jingle", thanks to R.T.'s creative idea. (I am not using childrens' names on the site)  When we went looking for Jingle, we caught him playing alphabet "Go Fish" with our good friend Pete the Cat. I wonder what mischief Jingle will be up to tomorrow? We will try to keep you up to date with photos of Jingle's adventures. Look for your elf reports coming home in the mailbags! The Elf on the Shelf book publishers have a great site just jam-packed full of games, colouring pages, activities, and iPhone/iPad apps. Here is the link (click directly on text):
