This week, our Bible story will center on Baby Jesus is born. We will make pages to add to our "Christmas Is. . ." book by making a Shining Star using star sponges, yellow paint and some glitter. We will also decorate a candy cane with red stripes and show how a candy cane is shaped like the letter "J" for Jesus. Also, we will talk about how the color red remind us that Jesus grew up and died on the cross for our sins, and the white reminds us that now our sins can look as white as snow. We will continue to sing our Christmas carols, "Joy to the World," "Away in a Manger," "We wish you a Merry Christmas," and "5 Little Candles." We will also sing "Twinkle Star" and "ABC."
During our opening time, we will decorate a paper Christmas tree with Christmas symbol stamps and different colors of ink. We will continue to have our music and movement with our bell twirlers and Christmas carols. We will also take special pictures of each of the children this week with our new shiny red backdrop for our "Christmas Is. . ." book. Our snack this week will be animal cookies and raisins. We have a nativity set with "Little People" characters which we will place in our mystery bag. The children will take turns selecting a character and trying to identify who it is.
Storytime this week is "Biscuit's Christmas" by Alyssa Satin Capucilli about all the sights and smells of Christmas time. Our second book is "Silent Night" which shows all the visitors that came to visit baby Jesus. When the button is pushed, the lights light up and Silent Night is played.
We will have regular classes this week and next week also, and then our Christmas break begins.
Have a blessed Christmas season!
Mrs. Shelly
