Oberon's Shenanigans- Day 1

     This year, our class is being visited by a scout elf from the North Pole for the first time. I am only sad that I did not begin this tradition earlier.

     The kids LOVE our elf, Oberon. They love all his mischief, his love, his letters. They love to write to him. They love to read to him. He inspiring two of my very favorite things: learning and laughter.

     He arrived the day of our Thanksgiving party, where at our school, we have an event called "Pies with Parents" to celebrate with our children's families. After walking around, serving the kiddos various types of pie, I finally came around with the last pie.

     But when I opened the pie box, there lay a scout elf, surrounded only by crumbs of the missing pie!

We knew immediately that Oberon was going to be quite mischievous. As we talked about it, the kids picked up the word "mischievous" too. For the last several days they have found all sorts of clever ways to use their new impressive vocabulary.
