I am soooo excited about doing Elf on a Shelf with my kiddos. I went to Target to buy it along with the DVD. I wrote a unit to go along with it too. J I made their Elf Journals yesterday. Below is the cover page for your downloading pleasure. J If you want to purchase the whole packet, click here. J
Elf Journal
Anywho, today we watched the 25 minute DVD and it was adorable. It is created based off of the actual book. If you use just any stuffed elf (which is totally fine, I used to do that too) then it may not be as effective (with the movie that is). The movie goes through how the elves get their “assignment”, how they are packaged (which looks just like the box I got at Target), and the rules. The kids loved it…LOVED IT!! When it was over, they were asking if Santa would send an elf to watch them at school? Needless to say, they have no idea of their teacher’s master plan. Bwhahah ha haaaa! (Insert creepy laugh, haha!)
So, I brought home the box tonight and wrapped it. I addressed it to Mrs. Radke’s class with a return address from the North Pole. Tomorrow I am going to ask our sweet secretary to call down to my class and say we have a special delivery. My students are going to be soooo excited! I hope it makes the next 13 days of school more bearable. I’ll let ya’ll know how it goes. Have a great day tomorrow!!
You should put it in the freezer for a little bit so its cold (like it came from the North Pole)!!! That's what I do with our letter from Santa! Ooooh man do they just eat it up!!

How cute is that!! I am totally going to do that! Thanks!! :) Ok, I think I went a little nuts with the exclamation marks!LOL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was just going to suggest putting the box in the freezer, but Mrs. Wagner beat me to it! So I will add that I also put bells in the freezer and after reading Polar Express, we have a special delivery with letters from Santa's elves each with a bell. (The letters are from elves that are really upper grade students.)

Wow Krystal! This is just so much fun I can hardly stand it! I love the idea of the Elf coming in a package from the North Pole and freezing it is genius! Man I love these blogs! We are all so much more creative together! I have the plush elf from Target, but I will look into the DVD. I am going to wait a week or so to have him visit since we go until the 23rd!!!! Yikes! How crazy do you think my kinders will be by then and how tired I am going to be!!! (I just used a ton of !!!! too!)
ReplyDeleteThanks again! I have the unit on my wishlist and will buy it soon. Thanks again!
I got the dvd but didn't buy the box set - too much $ for this time of the year. My mom gave me one of our family elves which will make it all the more special! I will be getting you unit!
ReplyDeleteI love Elf on the Shelf! Can I admit I was so excited when I heard about the movie? Ha. It was so cute! Anyway, I just love how you're going to introduce your elf to your class. Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. I am going to have to get this. My daughter is so crazy about the elf on a shelf too. LOL I am going to end up buying two of them now. One for the classroom and one for Ashley. haha
