Alvin the Elf on the Shelf

Alvin, the elf in 1U, arrived while we were out on Thanksgiving break.  Below is a picture of how we found him this morning.  Everyone was really excited to learn why this little friend showed up in our classroom.  We read a book about Alvin, let him know some of our classroom rules, and wrote him a welcome letter.  This elf flies to the North Pole every night and reports to Santa on student behaviors.  We can talk to Alvin, but he can't talk to us.  We've talked a lot about random acts of kindness today.  In the season of giving, such conversations are welcome reminders.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Be sure to ask your student where they found Alvin each night!
