Marshmallow in our Family Tree with his family photo.
During the month of December we had a special friend join us in our classroom - Elf on a Shelf! When our Elf first made an appearance he brought along a book that explained all the do's and don'ts of having an Elf visitor. We had a chance to name our Elf and we took a class vote (Math skills: counting, graphing!) after a few good choices we settled on Marshmallow. Marshmallow joined us everyday and we were very respectful to not touch him or else he would lose his magical powers to fly back to the North Pole! Marshmallow was funny enough to appear around the classroom and ended up in the Nativity scene, in our Family Tree (he even brought a family picture!), hanging on our Christmas decorations and even sat by the letter E one day (I wonder why?! Lyla knew it was because Elf started with E!). We loved Marshmallow and said goodbye just before the Christmas holidays.
