HAPPY TUESDAY!!

SO great to see everyone back at school!!!

We have finished one

of our service projects for children in Guatemala.

Before Thanksgiving we decorated

Christmas Trees, then Mrs Koenen and I 

added a bible verse then "wrapped" them in these baggies

adding a Merry Christmas label!

Morning work

The magnetic Wand with the

jingle bells is always a hit!!!

Winston is playing

the roll and cover game

Lucas and Otto are

using the Winter Village

Play Doh

with Christmas Cookie Cutters

Kennedy was excited to show me

her Pumpkin she made

Then several friends

practiced cutting

on the lines!

Morning Meeting

Lincoln was our

attendance helper

Everyone came to school today!!!!

15 friends at school!

Arwen was our

invocation leader

Our Jesus time story today

Zippy also came and talked to the children about

patience!!! Waiting is HARD!!!  Several stories

in the bible talk about people who

had to wait for something....

Abraham and Sarah waited a

 LONG time for a baby!!!

People waited a LONG time for God to send our

SAVIOR, Jesus!!!

We prepare for Christmas by celebrating

ADVENT!! The important thing 

during ADVENT is to prepare our hearts and be

ready! Plus we need to remember we are all sinful and we need

our SAVIOR, JESUS!!!

Today's Helpers

OUTSIDE TIME

Otto has a cast on his leg for a few more days....

before Thanksgiving he injured his

leg playing soccer... to help him out

while on the playground we used and stroller and

a group of friends stood all around him while I read books!!

It was very sweet!!

Cecilia was our

librarian

This book has beautiful pictures

BUT LOTS and LOTS of words---

But it talked a lot about our Jesus time story

for this week. So we enjoyed the pictures and retold

parts of the story that we already know!

Mack was our weather helper

Calvin was our

prayer leader

Lucas was our

snack manager

SNACK

The children LOVE our new 

decorations....

one of which is the 

Fireplace......

They are enjoying sitting around the

 fire and reading!!!

Ella was our

teacher assistant

MYSTERY BAG

Today's clues...

Yogurt

Yo-Yo

Yarn

1 big line

1 little line

Cecilia wanted to 

form the letter for us.......

She knew the letter and 

told me she could write it

easier than making it

with the lines-----

I completely agree and this is 

why we do Y near the end of line letters...

it is harder to make....

Many friends gave it a try

Center Time

some new items....

Big wooden arches

And a black rubber piece of material

the children use for multiply things....

build ramps for the wooden balls.....

We also put up the

Christmas tree and the children can

decorate it

And LOTS of baby

items to play with too>>>>

which is a favorite

for a big group of this class

I also worked with a small

group to make

Christmas Cards for children who

are in the hospital and may

not be at home for Christmas!

Cecilia wanted to pretend to

be putting the fire out.......

Then I got a group of
