Throwback Thursday ~ Elf on the Shelf
Posted on 01:09 by blogger
I'm so sad I won't be in my class this year to participate in our classroom Elf on the Shelf. In honor of all the fun, this week's Throwback Thursday is from last year's Elf on the Shelf!
I just introduced "Elf on the Shelf" in my classroom today and the students loved it! It's such a fun way to get into the holiday spirit and is a great tool to use to enforce good behavior.
First, I read the story to the class.
Next, we voted on a name for our classroom elf. After many choices, the class voted on Bella!

Once our elf had a name, we decorated the door. After all, she needs a way to get in and out of the classroom!
Lastly, we did a craft activity. Students created their own elf and wrote about it!
I printed the craft activity from Teachers Pay Teachers using a variety of worksheets:
Both activities are free to download!
Here are some mischievous activities that Bella participated in.
Bella read a lovely story to her friends.
Just hanging around the classroom.
Bella built a Jenga fort!
She was so tired and decided a tissue box was the best spot for her nap.
Just catching up on some Christmas shopping.
Snow angel fun!
An intense game of tic-tac-toe going on in class.

Baby Taylor's Modern Nursery
Posted on 00:09 by blogger
The nursery is done!! Now all we need is a baby! With my due date sneaking up on me, I finally was able to complete the finishing touches and get everything just perfect before Taylor arrives and the room is a complete disaster!
I wanted to make the room simple and have a modern feel. I tried to keep it mostly gray, white, and pink with a few hints of yellow. I didn't want to clutter up the room with tons of wall decor and busy prints. I tried to make it a peaceful room that is inviting but also fun. Ok baby girl, just waiting on you.
Here is my original vision board:
And here's the final product:
