I LOVE the Elf!!!

I have to admit, every year people talk about 'Elf on the Shelf' and I really didn't give it much thought or attention, that is until this year. My youngest son asked me why we didn't have an Elf; my middle son chimed in and stated that he felt our house was deserving of one and then my oldest who is 14 said that he too felt we needed one. Child pressure at its best! So, we now have an elf named Christian who finds himself in some predicaments and sometimes he is just hanging around. Now that I am 'in' to this elf thing I have found some amazing things you could do in the classroom with the Elf... at all grade levels!! I am posting two pictures of our cute elf, Christian in addition to some great resources for teachers and parents on how to use 'Elf' for education.
ENJOY!!
