Today in chapel Pastor Lepley had a bag.  We hypothesized if there was anything in the bag.  He shook the bag and we heard a bell.  He asked us how we know that there was a bell in the bag.  We knew because we heard it!  That is like Jesus.  We can't see Him, but we know that He is there because we have heard about it in the bible!  Jesus was born to die on the cross and rise again to save us from our sins! 

Outside time 

During small group time we continued our work on patterns.  We are working on AB patterns as well as more elaborate patterns including AB, ABC, AABB, etc.  Patterning is a foundational math skill! 

Independently the friends worked on finding the letters to write words found on the word cards.  

With Mrs. Zwettler, the friends continued to paint their advent wreaths. 

I forgot the iPad in the classroom during second outside time.  :(  My apologies. 

Second free choice

During second small groups we continued to extend our pattern knowledge. 

We also wrote words with the magnetic letters. 

We drew animals for our Nativity Scene too!
