For our class last Sunday we talked about the true meaning of Christmas. We talked about how it is a season for giving to others, peace and love. We talked about how we can be kind and thoughtful in what we do, say and act. We discussed how Christmas is the birth day of Jesus and that Santa and all the presents came along later.
We read the book Santa's Favorite Story by Hisako Aoki. In this story Santa tells the woodland animals the story of the birth of Jesus.
After our story, we colored and assembled a "Retell" Nativity Christmas tree. The children glued on 9 small circles onto the tree. In each circle is a drawing of one part of the Birth of Jesus. By using these 9 circles the children are able to retell the story of the Birth of Jesus. I hope that your child told you the story.
Our next class will be Sunday, December 7th and it will be our Christmas party.
Miss G.
