We started our Elf on the Shelf activities last week ~ my little ones loved it. I just found your blog through Farley's linky and I am your newest follower. Rhonda Classroom Fun
My school does a B&N fundraiser, so last year I bought 2 (one for my classroom & one for my nephew).
This year I bought another one for my niece...she named it Sophia!
If you're truly torn, keep it at home - it's a great tradition for your family. Then when it's "outgrown" or you buy another, transfer the super cool ideas from home to school!!!
Hi Kristan! I found your blog through Farley's link up and I am so glad I did! I'm your newest follower!
I used to think the Elf on the Shelf was kinda creepy but he's growing on me. I now want to get one for my class. Is your class going to choose a name? They're gonna love it!
I found some freebie packs on TpT for Elf on a Shelf... http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Free-Elf-on-the-Shelf-Activities & http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Elf-on-the-Shelf-Unit-FREE
They will love it - just check out my post from last year: http://crayonconfessions.blogspot.com/2011/12/meet-taylor.html when he/she brought green milk & Keebler elf, double fudge stuffed cookies!!
I bought Gingerbread stuff from the sale too! I LOVE to teach at this time of year!! So happy to have found your blog through the linky!

Thanks for following, I didn't want to bring on Christmas too early (last week we concluded a food unit & made Stone Soup).
DeleteNow we can bring on Christmas, elves, gingerbread, Santa, & reindeer... :0)!!
I am dying to get Elf on a Shelf. The question is...should I take it to school or leave it home?
