Instagram post 17842138837843527 The kiddos never want to leave their elf glyphs for the bulletin boards -they want to take them home! 💕So, in all of the years making these cuties,  I've never had an elf bulletin board. Many of them wind up as tall as the little friend that made it! It cracks me up watching them walk out at dismissal "walking" their elf beside them.⁣
⁣
The writing the kiddos do with this cute/huge/fun activity is so creative! Nothing like a little elf inspiration!! Gotta squeeze the actual learning in wherever we can in December, right?! 🤪⁣

Instagram post 18028362838244488 The boxes that greet me at the door are insisting that my Christmas shopping is done. I’m not sure how accurate that is - but I know I’m close! .
What on earth did I do before online shopping?! It’s even better when everything’s on sale! The 🍒 on top is when that shopping results in cash back or a gift card, right?!
.
How’s your holiday shopping list? Have you made a dent? Leave me a comment for a chance to win the $10 tpt gift card shopping “bonus”!

Hi! I’m Traci and I’m super glad you’re here. I’m passionate about sharing all the *wisdom* gained over my many years of teaching. I love helping teachers find their joy, develop efficiency and ignite their own teaching strengths. I believe simplicity and fun coupled with effective strategies and engaging and focused lessons are the key to it all. Also… laughter can carry you through just about all things.
