Mr. Jingles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The boys and girls (and not just my KinderKiddos) have had soooooo much fun finding out each morning what our favorite little elf has been up to while we have been snuggled up in our warm comfy beds.  I snapped more pictures for your enjoyment!!!!

Hey!  We need that stylus to do lunch count!

The Kleenex boxes are clear up there!  How are we supposed to blow our nose Mrs. Straight!!

Mr. Jingles got into our ABC/Word Work Station and wrote "elf"...

...."elf"...

..."elf"...

Book Buddies????????

Today when the kiddos walked into the classroom their squeal of delight and laughter were priceless as they saw what Mr. Jingles was up to.  Only today he enlisted a few of his friends and they settled into our class library and were....

READING THEIR FAVORITE BOOKS!!!!!

The Cat in the Hat was reading Green Eggs and Ham...

Pete the Cat was reading Pete the Cat Saves Christmas...

Clifford was reading ...what else...a Clifford book!

When the kiddos came in and saw Mr. Jingles and all of his friends reading, they began to sit down and read with them too!!!  It was such a precious precious sight!!! 



What Is He Doing Today Mrs. Straight?????

That is what greeted me in the hallway on Wednesday morning, the third day of Mr. Jingles visit.  The boys and girls were so so so excited to see what our elf, Mr. Jingles was up to!  And lo and behold ... there he was...   

                                           ZIP LINING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what tomorrow will bring???

Oh! Mr. Jingles!!!!!



Who Took the Candy From the Candy Jar...?

Day two of our favorite elf, Mr. Jingles... the boys and girls could barely contain themselves as they tried to walk and not run down the hallway to the Kindergarten room!  Today was the day Mr. Jingles was going to start our day with a smile and a "trick".  The boys and girls had to find him first and when they did --- they found him....

               eating our Hershey Kisses right out of the candy jar!!!

Just look at that chocolate face!!!!!

Oh!  Mr. Jingles!!!!!!

You Better Watch Out ... Mr. Jingles Is Comin' To Town

Our classroom was buzzing with all kinds of excitement with the arrival of Santa's special helper, Mr. Jingles.  Mr. Jingles is an elf that will be visiting our classroom each day in December and watching our class of KinderKids.  Using his elf magic, he will report back to Santa at the North Pole each night and give him his report on their behavior.   If it continues to be anything like today, Dear ole Sata will be pleased that Mrs. Straight's Kindergarten kiddos are as good as gold!!!  Mr. Jingles is full of michief as he enters our classroom each morning before we arrive with some kind of trickery to put a smile on our faces. So keep checking out our blog to see what Mr. Jingles is up to as he spends time in our classroom this month!!!

Mr. Jingles arrived Monday December 3 with a poem and a handwritten note. 

The boys and girls were soooooooo excited to see Mr. Jingles that they gathered around him and broke out into a chrous of Santa Claus is Comin' To Town!!!  ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!!!!!  This is why I love to teach.  I love seeing the world throught the eyes of a child...there is nothing better!!!
