"Christmas Time's A Comin'!"

Their "journey" to find the shepherd boy is still a highlight of the day! 


In Social Studies this week learned about Hawaii...which is ironic because of all the snow we got!

Making Leis!


 I have some very willing helpers when it comes to our classroom jobs! (Trash Collector & Gardener)

During Bible we had fun reenacting the Battle of Jericho with our block cities! 
                                                       I'm sorry for the window blocking!

We changed things up on Thursday and instead of doing our usual work pages for Handwriting, we wrote about some melting snowmen... check our our hallway for their art work!


In Math we learned about ordinal numbers and putting objects from smallest to largest while we made Construction Paper Christmas Trees...

We are looking forward to a Christmas filled week next week!

Christmas is in the air!

On Monday we started by meeting our little shepherd boy and reading "The Shepherd on the Search" by Josh and Lindsey Helms. If you have never heard of this book, it is very similar to Elf on the Shelf, except with a Christian viewpoint and no magic involved...just me hiding the shepherd boy and the kids having a great time finding him.
 Every morning the kids get to go on a "journey" to find our shepherd boy, just like the shepherds did to find baby Jesus in a manger!
 
Decorating our classroom for Christmas was a large part of our week. We made.....
Snowflake ornaments for our classroom tree.

Paper chains to hang around our classroom and tree.
OUR TREE!

 



We also made snow globe decorations for our hallway bulletin board.

Hard at work on Handwriting!
                        In Social Studies we learned about Eskimos and made "snow" to play in!



Lastly, this week we had another visit from Mrs. Susan...she had a great Christmas theme!
