Woita's World: Happy Birthday Isabelle!!!!

Today was a very special day in kindergarten, because our friend, Isabelle, turned 5! This was the first birthday since we have started kindergarten and it was a little crazy this morning in our classroom. For the past few years I have had an elf - yep I said elf - come to my classroom during the holidays to keep an eye on my students while they are at school. Some of you may have heard of the "Elf on the Shelf" tradition and boy does Mrs. Woita love when Snowflake (our elf) is watching because my friends are always on their very best behavior. But... last year I heard about Santa giving special permission to some of his elves to help come and celebrate birthdays because Santa loves birthdays too! So I wrote Santa and Snowflake a letter asking if they could come and help celebrate birthdays in my classroom and guess what? SNOWFLAKE CAME! He was even dressed up in his birthday suit! The kids were so excited to read the book he left about the birthday tradition! Snowflake was so silly he left confetti all over Isabelle's desk and all over the carpet (although Mrs. Woita might have to write another note about the confetti and maybe keeping it at the north pole next time but we will see what Snowflake thought of it - since he was watching us all day long too). I sure hope Isabelle had a great day too, I know she is very much looking forward to her Frozen birthday party this weekend and so are some of her new friends. This morning we all thought of words to describe Isabelle and Mrs. Woita made her a little gift from all of us - we sure hope she likes it! Here are a few pictures from our fun day!
