Elf Applications

Today we sent Elf Applications to Santa because we want to apply to be an elf. We were all very excited! Santa also wanted our fingerprints, so in red and green we put our fingerprints on our resume! 

I hope he picks us for the job!! 

Also, on Monday Santa told me there is going to be a surprise here waiting for us!! We can't wait!!!! What could it be?

A Bad Case of Stripes

We are finishing up our "making connections" strategy and read a fabulous book called "A Bad Case of Stripes." The book had a great message - be yourself!!!!
