We are nearing the end of the second week of Advent! As a school, we have been celebrating the Advent season, and getting ready for Christmas, by attending the weekly Advent liturgies in the gym. In our Grade 1 classroom, we have been reading and discussing the important parts of the the Christmas story each week. We have talked about the Advent wreath and how it's ever green branches symbolize God's never-ending love for us!
We are following the journey of Mary and Joseph as they make the long trek to Bethlehem. The children have loved coming in each day and locating Mary and Joseph as they make their way closer to the stable in the Bethlehem!
Each day throughout December, the special helper also chooses a wrapped Christmas book from underneath our mini classroom tree which we read during snack time!
Such an exciting time as we wait for the birth of Baby Jesus at Christmas!
