ELVES WANTED!!!
The students LOVED this project! First, they got to fill out an application for a job as an elf. Next, they had to be finger-printed, as many of us do to obtain a job. After that, the students wrote a persuasive letter to Santa convincing him to hire them. Finally, they got to make their own elf picture to display on the application. Aren't they cute?? The kids really enjoyed this activity and it lead to a lot of interesting discussions about careers!

CHRISTMAS IN FRANCE
Our cadet teacher, Miss Caitlyn, "took" us to France! We learned all about their Christmas traditions, such as children leaving their shoes by the fireplace, and on Christmas morning they are filled with treats. Miss Caitlyn also taught us about the history of the Yule Log in France.

Polar Express Day

Goodbye Miss Caitlyn
Wow, what a busy day! It was Polar Express Day, so we got to hang out in our comfy jammies all day. Yay! We also enjoyed the movie and hot cocoa, of course.
Since it was Miss Caitlyn's last day we threw a little surprise party for her. We were really sad to see her go, but the students sent her off with lots of hugs and advice for college!

PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!!!
The students had a great time at their Christmas party. The party was full of food, treats, games, and laughs! We have some awesome room mothers!!
