Christmas isn't about "hoping" for certain gifts and presents, but about a promised hope in our Savior. Our God always keeps His promises, and He is faithful! What a comfort that is! As a class we are taking time to slow down, and to reflect on God's goodness and faithfulness. We have started to work through Sing, Move, and Memorize for Luke 2. The kids will learn some sign language and the verses through music. Check out a few pictures at the end of our Christmas Tree day!

Jungle Explorer:Clint was our special Jungle Explorer of the Week! Thanks for sharing your poster and pictures with our class. We enjoyed getting to know you and learning that you like football. We love that you want to be a Police Officer when you grow up! Your favorite place is Urban Air and your favorite food is pizza. You are so special to God and to us, Clint, and we loved getting to know more about you this week!
Christmas Around the World:
Dec. 10- Christmas Around the World Day- We will read about 5 countries and how they celebrate Christmas and make a craft to go along with the reading to remember each country. We will be in the gym all morning and move in stations. I could use at least one more parent to help out with this day if you are able. Check out the sign up genius to sign up!
Critter Barn Field Trip:
Field Trip to the Critter Barn on Dec. 13 to see the Live Nativity. We will be going after lunch and please dress for the weather!
Class Christmas Party:
Our class Christmas party will be Thursday(Dec. 19) before break.
Please have your child bring in his/her "boy" or "girl" gift on Thursday, December 19. We ask that each boy come with one wrapped "To: A boy, From: _______" labeled gift, and each girl come with one wrapped "To: A girl, from _______" labeled gift. These will be used as a part of games and activities at the class Christmas party. Please limit the value of these gifts to $3-$5 only. Even though you may be able to find a great deal on a higher priced item for only $3-$5, it helps us avoid some difficulty if the value of each item is actually within the range that is set.. It is not a requirement to participate in the gift exchange part of the party if you would rather not participate.
