Joyful First Snow!

Nothing more joyful for me than spending the first snow of the year with kids!
It was so cozy spending the day in our classroom watching the snow fall outside.  

The kids of course, anxiously waiting in anticipation of the recess that was soon to come:

And yes, that is an Elf of the Shelf you may have spied in the first picture.
Meet "Elvin"":
He's a mysterious little elf for sure, with a great sense of humor.
He certainly fills our classroom with the magic and joy of the holiday season!
Thinking of you too, hoping your holiday season is filled with a great bundle of:

  1. My sister is a kindergarten teacher in Virginia Beach, where snow is rare. If it starts to snow during the school day, she takes the kids outside, so they can experience it. A lot of the kids haven't ever seen snow, and if they wait until the school day ends, it would likely be melted.

  6. I like your classroom... you have a plant and the bank of windows are unobstructed. Artwork hangs on the wall. It's homey.

  10. The Elf on a Shelf should be fun. One of my kindergarten teacher friends set up a Santa cam in her room--and the behavior has been top notch since then. :0)

  15. Have fun with your little elf.
    Seeing the classroom brings back childhood memories of chalk and glue.
    recess and fresh air is such an important part of school.

  17. It's so fun to watch the kiddos playing in the snow. Even the teenager likes snow, but these days it's in hope there will be a snow day!
