We learned how the Christmas tree does point us to Jesus today! What about the three corners of the tree? The lights? The apple ornaments? We can use the tree to share the Good News about Jesus to everyone we see over the Christmas season. We read together "The Legend of the Christmas Tree" and learned so much about why we decorate the evergreens!
We voted...real or fake? Then we did a compare/contrast between the two, and did a pros/cons list for a real tree! First graders had great thoughts!! We finally wrote our own opinion papers about what kind of tree is best! Ask your firstie what he/she chose to write about...real or artificial...and why?
We did our regular math lesson, because we are doing great on Missing Addends. Today everyone really held on and we got through many word problems together!
After lunch we had a secret reader and celebrated a birthday before we made our VERY OWN CHRISTMAS TREE SNACKS! It was so much fun!! Messy, sweet, and took some real perseverance but we did it!!
No homework tonight!
Tomorrow is GRINCH DAY!
