This week we have read from our different children's bibles, The Most Special Baby, Good News, and What's All the singing About? We learned about the journey that Mary and Joseph had to get to Bethlehem to be counted, then there wasn't any room. They stayed in the stable that night and baby Jesus was born. The angels sang and the shepherds came to visit Him, and they told everyone about Jesus. That is our job too, Go and Tell Everyone. We also read The Legend of the Candy Cane, which we learned that the candy cane is like a shepherd's staff, Jesus is our good shepherd, it is a letter J for Jesus, and the red reminds of Jesus's blood, and the white is for how we are clean because He die on the cross and took our sins away.
We are still busy making surprises, but we made paper gingerbread people, we painted with scented paint and made candy canes by rolling marbles around to make the stripes, and we made Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer from our hands and feet, and we drew what we thought would be under the Christmas bow.
At Center Time we have been baking this week, we made gingerbread cookies, measures, mixed and baked 2 birthday cakes for baby Jesus. YUM! They were really good!
I am amazed each and everyday at the new structures that they build.
