Each student's account will track the books they read, whether they listened to the story or read it themselves, and their quiz scores. Students can access this Reading AtoZ program during literacy center time or at home through our class PortaPortal.

Joy

Joy is an elf.

 Joy is fast. 

Joy is a very fast elf.

 Joy is a good elf.

She is a great elf. 

I like to find her.

Joy is very fun to watch. She is very curious. We love to see Joy. Whenever we get a bee or a Terrific 12, she grabs it and makes it a game! It is fun when she hides. She is a fast elf! When we come back from lunch, she's already in a different spot! She makes fast trips to Santa too! We love having Joy as part of our classroom family!

Elf on a Shelf in W-43!

We named her Joy and wrote about her visit to our classroom in our writer's notebooks! 

More to come...
