excited to have a turn

at Invocation Leader

and 

Devotion Helper

we sang

Light One Candle

as Abidaan turned on the candles

2 candles this week

We learned something new

in today's devotion...

The name Bethlehem...

means HOUSE OF BREAD

Zippy came today

Zippy was a little sleeping today because

he didn't sleep well last night. Zippy is afraid of 

the dark and worried about spiders...

We reminded Zippy that he is never

really alone--that God is always with him

even in the dark. And God can do anything

and even can light up a dark night...

Like in today's bible story

God put angels in the sky on the night

Jesus was born! It made the dark night

very BRIGHT!!

I then read from the bible about

the night Jesus was born

and how the Shepherds ran

to see Jesus and shared the Good News to

all those they saw!!

today's helpers

Our last line letter

(when we return from 

Christmas Break, I will introduce letters made with

curves! We will learn the letters made with

curves and lines)

The clues:

Zoo

Zipper

Zebra

2 little lines

1 big line

Everyone knew it was Z...

But using the lines

is challenging

to make it without looking at something

several friends 

wanted to help...

We thought of just a 

few Z words today....

CENTER TIME

Present wrapping...

such great practice, great fine motor

skills as well as problem solving

(how big to cut the paper, how much tape,

how to get whole box covered, etc..)

Huge thank you to Simon's family

for the donation of wrapping

paper---they loved it)

After a present was wrapped it

went under the tree!

These boys were excited to get 

to the block area

Sensory Table

Winter Village

LOTS of wrappers.....

a picture of his creations....

SO I gave him my phone to take

the picture and then bring

me my phone back

Also he took a picture of the 

ramps they built

superintendent

Prayer Request

after prayer if we have time.....

the class has started wanting to 

show me their own yoga poses....

Just about everyone had

something to show me...

Since we didn't have time to do everyone individually..

I suggested they all show me at

once and I would be sure to look at what 

everyone is doing

😂😁😀

PLUS I GOT PICTURES!!

Calvin got to chose the 

goodbye rhyme...

Give me a kiss, fish!
