Classroom Elves!

We've been having fun while Timothy, our classroom Elf, is visiting from the North Pole to keep an eye on the children for Santa while they are at school. They have loved coming in each day and finding where Timothy has decided to post up for the day. On Friday when we arrived, we found our whole room had been "Elfed" by Timothy and some of his friends! Timothy was trying to look innocent while he colored a picture...of an Elf!

   

Christmas Musical

The first graders at Hilltop Elementary performed a Christmas Musical this week for the parents. Mrs. Dooley had them well prepared and they put on a great performance! The dance moves and singing were wonderful. It doesn't get much cuter than this! Also, our own Lily had a solo and made our class very proud!

Thanksgiving Celebration

We were so excited to have our parents invited to eat Thanksgiving dinner this year with the kids. After lunch, we had the parents come back to our room for a Readers' Theatre presentation called the ABC's of the first Thanksgiving. The kids did a great job and looked adorable in their Native American vests and headdresses

Edible Landforms

I blew the kids' minds when I told them that to end our unit on landforms we would be not only building landforms with food, but we would also get to eat them! Check out a few of the photos of the landforms the boys and girls made out of graham crackers, colored icing, Hershey kisses, Rolos, and brown sugar. We had a blast making these and Kaden even claimed that it was the best day of school ever!
