ReplyDeleteAn elf came in to are classroom last night because he saw the are classroom looked and thought it was a mess so he just decided to clean up the classroom for Mrs. Machota and for us.
This elf must be pretty smart to get into a locked school, the middle of the night.There is a lot of stuff to steal and take from the teachers.That one little elf would be in big big trouble for such thing.I would probably asume that the elf would be magical like Santa Claus.He was maybe here even working for santa.
