"Elfies"

This is the story that we read that prompted all this fun and learning. The children made connections in their own lives with this book. As you scroll down through the pictures you will begin to see that through this play, there was a lot of expectations  and goals that the children developed.

Thanks for loaning us the use of your hat!!
Look what fun we had!

This is 1 of 10 Elfies that this little mischievous took of herself.

Sweet little elf!

Little camera shy ;)

This Elf was a little nervous to get his picture taken. He's a believer in  keeping the Elves a secret:)

This sweet Elf is going to charm his way into your heart.

So excited!!! Couldn't stop laughing.

"G" liked to wear is hat a little crooked, it looked fun that way.
The photo bomber thought so too.

The littles Elf of them all, needed some help from behind to hold the hat up off her eyes.

What can I say, there always has to be that silly Elf in every crowd. He keeps us laughing.

Elf friends...

And another Elf friend...

AND another Elf friend!
