Students
by day.....Elves by night!

The
AR students at Lincoln have been spending their spare time helping
Santa by working in Santa's Workshop. They are working really hard
getting ready for Christmas Eve.
The AR students
have been doing lots of different jobs!
The pictures below
will show you how hard they have been working!

Decorating
the North Pole
|
 |
Elf Lance, Elf Abby
and Elf Makayla are busy decorating one of the many Christmas trees
at the North Pole!
Elves like
to play and sometimes they take time to have a little fun.
The garland
should probably go around the tree!
|
|
Elf Jade, Elf Mckenzie and Elf Hannah
are also helping with decorating another Christmas tree.
They don't know where the garland
should go either!
|
|
 |
Elf Joey, Elf Nicholas and Elf Nathan
are trying to make sure there are enough Christmas lights.
Don't forget to put the lights where
they should go!
|
|
Elf Brittany and Elf Mikayla are
really busy helping Santa with his book of who is naughty and who
is nice.
They look a little surprised at
something that Santa is writing!
|
|
|
|
Elf Megan is helping Santa with
writing letters to boys and girls.
Santa appreciates all the letters
that the boys and girls around the world write to him.
Santa wishes he could answer each
and every one...but he just doesn't have time.
|
|
Technology
at the North Pole
|
|
Elf Dakota, Elf Nolan,
and Elf Ben work at the North Pole Communications Center.
Santa has the newest
technology to keep up with everything that is going on in the world.
That includes watching
to see who is naughty and who is nice!
|
|
|
|
Elf Libby is
very suprised that Santa has a Smartphone!
Now Santa can use his Smartphone
to:
1. Access and
use documents, spreadsheets, and databases to keep track of toy
inventories and elf work schedules.
2. Access the internet and read his e-mail.
3. Take photographs and edit graphics.
4. Play video games that the elves created.
5. Play Christmas videos and music.
6. Show his coordinates anywhere in the world using GPS and it
can be a "sleigh" navigation device in case he gets
lost on Christmas Eve because it is too foggy!
Wow!

DOLL SHOP
What would Christmas be without
dolls?
Elf Patience, Elf Ciara, and Elf
Hannah make dolls for Santa.
Dolls have been around for a long,
long time. The earliest known dolls were found in Eqyptian tombs
back in 2000 BC. They were made of wood, clay or rags.
Dolls have changed alot since
then.
Some popular dolls are Raggety
Ann, Barbie, American Girl dolls, paper dolls, Cabbage Patch Kids
and Madame Alexander Dolls.
|
Train Shop
Elf Cara and Elf Jarred are busy
making trains and designing train set ups.
Did you know that the first regularly scheduled
passenger train first ran on Christmas Day in 1830? That is probably
why trains are so poplular at Christmas time.
|
|
|
|
Elf Haley and Elf Buddy also work
in the Train Shop.
Does it look like they are working
to you? It looks like they are having alot of fun!
All of the Train Shop Elves love
to read "The Polar Express".
|
|
Bicycle Shop
Elf Alex, Elf Michelle and Elf Cheyenne
are bicycle elves.
They paint the bicycles and put
them together. They even add all the extra stuff...like baskets
and bells and horns.
Sometimes you will catch them riding
around the shop....instead of working!
|

Bakery
and Candy Shop
Elf Corinne works
at the North Pole Bakery. She makes lots of delicious food for everyone
to eat!
Her favorite is designing
and making Gingerbread Houses.
|
Elf Olivia also works in the Bakery
and Candy Shop.
Yum, Yum, Yum!
She likes to make Candy Canes
and Gum Drops and of course...Gingerbread Houses.
See her latest Masterpiece!

|
 |
Rocking Horse Shop
Elf Ciara, Elf Mason and Elf Emma
love working here.
The first wooden horses were put
on wheels and used with knights to practice jousting.
It wasn't until the 18th century
that rocking horses became toys. Britain and Germany led the world
in making these wonderful toys for children.
However, P.J. Marqua, an American
from Cincinnati, Ohio, changed the design in 1877. He put the
bowed rockers on the horse to make it safer.
|
Lego Shop
Elf Jill, Elf Maddy and Elf Kaley
are taking a break!
They work in the Lego shop. Look
at all the wonderful colors.
Mr. Christiansen from Denmark
made the first Legos in 1949. He called them Interlocking Plastic
Blocks!
Mr. Betz, Mr. Clifton and Mr.
Chenot said it was their favorite toy when they were young!
Who hasn't played with Legos!
|

|
Stuffed Animal Shop
Elf Angel and Elf Keahna are holding
up their favorite stuffed animals.
They work at Santa's Workshop
designing and making stuffed animals.
Look at the dragon behind them.
What a cool stuffed animal.
I wonder who is going to get that
for Christmas!
|
Games Shop
Elf Ricky and Elf Zachary are
taking a break. I think the elves take alot of breaks! It seems
they are always eating Candy Canes.
The Games Shop is the busiest
shop at the North Pole.
Everybody loves games. Mrs. Christen,
Mrs. Barth and Mrs. Young like to play games when all the students
go home. Their favorites are "Mousetrap and Candyland"!
|
 |
 |
Doll House Village Shop
Elf Gabby, Elf Lacy and Elf Scotty
design, paint and build wooden doll houses.
They also have to design, build
and paint all of the little furniture that goes in the doll houses.
They are very busy! They are not
taking a break and eating Candy Canes!

Clock Shop
This is Elf Michael. He doesn't
work in the Clock Shop but he wants to work here. He has not been
an elf long enough. You have to be an elf for 500 years before
you can be a clock elf.
These are the oldest elves at
the North Pole. They make all kinds of clocks, Their favorite
to make is the big Grandfather Clocks. But they also like to make
Cuckoo Clocks! (Some elves think these clock elves are a little
cuckoo. )
Until Michael has been an elf
for 500 years...he is going to sneak down to the Clock Shop on
all his breaks and learn all he can about making clocks.!

Reindeer Duty
Elf Kilee, Elf Paige, and Elf
Summer take care of the Reindeer today.
All the elves like Reindeer Duty
because they can go outside!
And Reindeer are so cool!
Is this Cupid or Comet???

Elf Tiara and Elf Haley are also
on Reindeer Duty. They are feeding Prancer and Dancer.
Santa is feeding the reindeer

fly. Christmas must be soon!

There's always time to have some fun!
Elves have recess too!

Elf Billy, Elf Justalyn and Elf
Logan are also at recess .
They like playing in the snow.
They made this snowman!
What fun it is at the North Pole.
It has lots of snow to play in.
|
And you just never know who or
what you will run into when you are out exploring the North Pole!
Elf Ashley, Elf Katie and Elf
Laurelin ran into this polar animal. This Polar Bear knows to
be nice to these elves or Santa won't bring him anything for Christmas!
|
 |
 |
Wrapping Gifts
Elf Joey, Elf Jadie and Elf McKenzie are wrapping
gifts for Santa.
It won't be long until Christmas.
|
Elf Catherine
and Elf Angelika are also wrapping gifts. There are so many gifts
to wrap and they are way behind.
It looks like Elf Angelika is
wondering what is in this present.
Elf Angelika knows it is for Mrs.
Baxter. When she wraps it.. she says she is going to be very creative
and artsy with the wrapping!
|

Reading Time
Santa requires his elves to read
30 minutes everyday.
Elf Tiffany, Elf Kayla and Elf
DJ are on their reading break now.
They are reading books about.....Santa
Claus!!!
|
Elf Cierra and Elf Mikey are on
their reading break now.
Santa wants all of his elves to
be good readers and to have a good education. Santa says there
is more to life than just making toys.
Many elves have written their
own books...especially about Santa.
How do you think we know so much
about Santa????

Personal Assistant
It is finally Christmas Eve.
Elf Kaitlin has the honor of helping
Santa with getting ready. She makes sure he has everything he
needs and his boots are shined!
All of the elves look forward
to their turn at helping Santa get ready for Christmas Eve...the
most important night of the year!
No matter how many times you have
seen it...it is always exciting to see Santa in his Santa suit.
