Classroom Elf

Does anyone else have an elf visiting from the North Pole at this time of year? My class was thrilled when they came back from Thanksgiving break & found an elf in our room. Snowflake has been a pretty good little elf, but she has managed to play with some of our math games & manipulatives.

Yesterday, Snowflake climbed into a side pocket of my backpack & went to Disney's Animal Kingdom with us. I hesitated with the idea because I was afraid she'd fall out, but I knew the kids would get a kick out of it. They were excited, all right! But, they were also very concerned about her falling out, so I safety-pinned her to the backpack pocket. (Not an easy feat without touching her!)

While there, I managed to "escape" from my students long enough to purchase a Mouse Ears hat for her. Disney's key chain version of the traditional mouse ears fit an elf perfectly!

Now, I need help. We're coming up on the last five days that Snowflake will be in the classroom and I need some more ideas of mischief she can get into in a fourth grade room. Nothing involving too much prep...time is a luxury I don't have right now. But, I'd like to do something cute for my kiddos.
