Surprises

I was shocked to say the least when I got to school this morning to find that my room was a mess with chairs and other things knocked over. Come to find out that the Elf from the Shelf had come to visit for the day to see who has being naughty or nice. He mostly find nice :). Sometime during the evening St. Nicholas stopped by to leave us a treat in the shoes we created on Monday.  Today is the feast of St. Nicholas. We read a story today called Gingerbread Friends by Jan Brett and we got to decorated gingerbread friends cookies this afternoon. We ate one of the friends for snack and the other came home in your child's backpack. Each child was instructed to retell the story of Gingerbread Friends to you tonight so you may want to ask if the don't remember.
