Well, today he did not hide from us at first.  Instead, he got caught reading holiday books.  Just sitting back and chillaxing.  Glitter everywhere.  Earlier he must have been practicing writing his name.  He must have overheard the students talking about how he writes some of his letters backwards.  unfortunately, as you can see by the photo below, he still is writing some of his letter backwards.  He also drew a self-portrait under a Christmas tree.  He is a very talented artist.  However, we also discovered he struggles with putting the correct colored caps on markers.  So much for him to learn.

Later, while I was at a meeting and the students were at special, he hid himself again.  My math students found him behind the globe.  One of the students said he was trying to fly over our world.

Who knows what tricks he will play on us tomorrow.  HEHE!

The students have voted and our little friend’s name is Sprinkles.  Apparently, he is thrilled with his name.  The students are concerned with how he writes some of his letters like L, e, r, and k.  Today, my homeroom found him attempting to sweep up the room.  Later, he hid in a very high plant.  If you look really close you can see his little legs dangling.  Throughout the day, the students found glitter throughout the room.  I guess when elves fly, they sprinkle our world with glitter?!  FYI-It turns out that we have a student who can be a Sprinkle stand in.

   Thank you Dante for getting Sprinkles.  Caden found him.  YEAH!                                                Can you see his elf feet dangling?  Micaela-good job!

Which one is Gavin?  Which one is Sprinkles? 

Look who came to visit us for the month of December.  Very explicit instructions came with him.  We are voting on his name today.  Already, he has played a trick on us.  We found him in the puppets.  Luckily, Owen had gloves on to place him back in his little home.  However, then another student touched him with his BARE hands and he lost his magic for the rest of the day.  Fortunately, I had cinnamon at home and brought it to school so I could sprinkle his area so he could get his magic back.  But then, when I left our room to make copies, our trickster hid again.  Oye Vay!  This is going to be exhausting.
