Our star student this week was Claudia. Claudia does a great job walking quietly in the halls. Good work, Claudia!
We had a very special visitor on Wednesday...St. Nicholas! We got to hear the true story of St. Nicholas, and we even got some candy in our shoes. Thank you for visiting us, St. Nick!
We learned this week about the most important gift of all, baby Jesus being born. Pastor Brian came and talked with us about the story of Christmas and how the 3 wisemen brought Jesus gifts. Our class wrote a list of all the gifts we would like for Christmas (which, as you can imagine was filled with Barbie this and Batman that) and then remembered again the most important gift of all. We will continue learning about the story of Christmas next week. Here is our new favorite toy in the classroom, our nativity.
We also got the chance to play in sugar and cinnamon candies with cooking utensils. These tactile experiences are great for our students! Start thinking now about what kind of fun kitchen science experiments you could try over winter break.
On Friday, we were blessed with the opportunity to sing Christmas songs for Lord of Glory's Seasoned Seniors group. They meet at church one Friday a month for games and fellowship. Before they started their bingo game (which one of our students did ask to join), we sang three of our favorite Christmas songs. Don't worry...you will have a chance to hear them on Friday! What a great moment seeing these generations interact! I foresee a fun senior/student game time in our future. The Seasoned Seniors group was so glad to have us, as you can see by the smiles on their faces.
Here is our classroom newsletter for the week! Looking forward to our Christmas party on Friday at 2:15! The students are ready to share songs, snack time, and a craft with you! See you then!
