Mrs. Reincke led us in chapel this morning.  We learned more about Advent and we continued to prepare our hearts for the coming of our Lord.  The children learned about gratitude.  Mrs. Reincke read the same story twice but the first time the children were Me First, That's My Toy, and I Want it All.  We talked about how those are not the kind of people we want to be.  Then we heard the same story with You Go First, Let's Share and You Can Have it.  We talked about how we need to be those people.  However, we are often the not so nice people and we are thankful God loves us so much He sent down Jesus so when God sees us He sees the nice person instead of the sinful one.

In math we did more work with perimeter.  We measured shapes, added them together and came up with the perimeter.

We had extra gym today so the children went right from computer lab to gym today!  It was over an  hour of specials!  What fun!

In social studies we learned about Early America.  We talked about the pilgrims, Indians and settlers. We watched a short video to help us learn about where these people settled.

For writing today we wrote verb stories.  We chose 3 verbs; run, smile and hide.  The children had to use those verbs to create a story.  They turned out  very cute!  I hope you enjoy reading them.

Our ornament for today was a nativity scene from Brazil.  They turned out very cute!  Check them out!
