The Classroom Elves of 2nd grade!🎄
🎁The note from the North Pole reads:
We really try to behave as elves
Just you wait and see!
But we need some good role models
To show us how good to be!
Your teacher will choose a boy or girl
A very special pick!
To show us how to act each day
And ESPECIALLY to show jolly old St. Nick!
❤️All students did a fabulous job being Classroom Elves during the month of December!
