12-1-15 The Day the Elves Appeared By: Lane B., 3rd Grade Ms. Cabness’ Class

 

 

On December 1, our Elf on the Shelf came to visit. When we came into the classroom we noticed that he was on Mrs. Cabness’ Christmas tree! We were all SO excited to see him! Mrs. Cabness began class by reading the Elf on the Shelf book and knew we had to give him a name. We also realized we have two elves. Mrs. Cabness’ elf is a boy- Pippi Peppermint and Ms. Morgan’s elf is a girl- Snowflake.

The rules of our elves are simple: once we named the elves, we are not allowed to touch them or they will lose their magic. Our elves will report to Santa every night to tell him whether we have been good at school or not. When Christmas arrives, the elves return to the North Pole. Elves on the Shelves are great, because you know they are watching you every step of every day. You should behave, so you can be on the nice list. You can also write letters to the elves to tell them what you want for Christmas and they will tell Santa. They may even write you back.

               Our elves have moved every day. They have been on the Christmas tree and on the shelf with a reminder note to bring money for the holiday school store, and today, Pippi Peppermint was sitting on the computer. Snowflake got stuck in the blinds in Ms. Morgan’s room after taking an elfie selfie with Pippi Peppermint! It is really fun to find where they are each morning when we come to school. Everyone needs an Elf!
