We split up into four groups and used our problem solving skills (or worked harder to develop them!) to choose a name everyone in our group could agree on. We shared our choices- Sparkle Toes, Ginger, Art, and Pinky. Then, very democratically, we took a vote to see what our elf would be named. In a close vote, Sparkle Toes won! We discussed how we don't always get what we want and how to respectfully celebrate or be disappointed-- life lessons right here in kindergarten. (If only the world would remember them...)
And just like that, Sparkle Toes the elf was named and discovered in room B32. At first, our excitement could not be contained and many reminders of Sparkle Toe's important job had to be given. In the days since, many little kinders have been making extra awesome choices in hopes of being caught by Santa's little helper. Stay tuned to see what adventures Sparkle Toes brings to our classroom leading up to winter break.
