Week #17


One more week before Christmas break and the excitement is definitely in the air. We are having fun singing Christmas songs and hearing Christmas stories. The Elf on the Shelf is working hard to promote the nice list and pretty pictures are being created to help decorate our room for the holidays. I feel you will experience the same Christmas spirit while attending the Christmas programs next Wednesday and Thursday. Merry Christmas to all of you!  See you there!

Week #16

What a great way to start the month
  with our little Elf on the Shelf. Meet Chippy, Snowflake and then on
Tuesdays and Thursdays he, (or she) is Holle Jo. Yes, each class named their own
elf.  The elf has been a good incentive to want to be on Santa's nice list. I hear many students have a elf at home too. I say that at this busy time of year, whatever works to spread goodness and kindness is worth the effort.   Welcome Little Elves!!!
 
 

Class 1

Wonder where he will be hiding next class time?
 
 

Adam is sewing his stocking together. This activity is great for muscle development for our
tiny fingers and for increasing our hand-eye coordination

Gabrielle is going up and down and all around his stocking
so no treat from St. Nick falls through.
 

My friends are cutting and coloring pretty bows for our classroom tree.
 
 
The children are always ready for their time with the pastors.
 

These children know how to pray.
 

Grant found the letter for the week in a book so he gets to stamp his
letter card.
 

Chase is pointing to the Jj he found in his book
 

The children are wishing Ms. Brenda good lucky with a hug 
 until they see her again after her surgery

This project was about our bible time with Pastor Bob,
 Christmas is about the birth of Christ
 
 
Class 2
 
Meet Snowflake!
 

Kayla is getting her stocking ready for St. Nick
 

Up and down and through the hole Jo goes to sew his stocking
 

Kaleb and Keno are buddies

Friends at play
 


 
Do you see what I see? It is treats from St. Nick!
 

Sophie is assembling her Nativity Scene

They found St. Nick's surprise!

These students are amazing!

Joe did it too!
 
Our Christmas stockings in the hall around the tree
