One of the best things about our classroom environment is starting the day with our praise videos. This group of students looks so forward to a few minutes of singing these meaningful songs each day. This month we are enjoying some great Christmas songs by Pentatonix, but I’ve also added bonus tunes: “Heaven Everywhere” by Francesca Battistelli and “Light of the World” by Lauren Daigle. I encourage you to play these songs at home, as the lyrics truly share the meaning of this special season. The 4th graders certainly show the beauty of their faith as they sing in school every morning.
