This week, we light the third candle on our advent wreath, the candle of joy. We reflect on the gift of joy that comes with the birth of Jesus and of the joy we feel when we celebrate Christmas.
We have many fun festivities to fill us with Christmas joy this week, our final week of school before the Christmas break. We will learn about letter Ll, enjoy creating a few last Christmas crafts and gifts, read stories about Christmas traditions and sing traditional Christmas carols. We will hold a gumdrop house design competition using gumdrops and toothpicks, put on a living nativity show, create edible ice cream cone Christmas trees and enjoy a few games of Christmas bingo with prizes.
We will end our week on a fun note. We will enjoy a holiday movie with a special cookie snack on Friday. Afterwards we will have our birthday party for Jesus in our classroom. Santa Claus will be stopping by our Jesus’ birthday party to pay us an early Christmas visit. All students are invited and encouraged to attend class on Friday to enjoy our final day of holiday fun together.
