'Luke 2:5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 

6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,'

Last week was so much fun!!

We had art and music and so much joy in our class!!! We were also able to enjoy an trip on the 'Polar Express' right in our very own chapel!! Each little one colored their own train car to sit in. We had cookies, Hot cocoa and watched the movie with everyone in the school!!! It was so much fun!!

We will NOT be having pre-kinder classes until the first of the new year! The child care will be open, just be sure to check with the office for modified Holliday hours. Miss Mellyn will be in the class to care for all our kids who still need to be here over the next two weeks. 

A way to keep little minds working!

A fun game I have started with our class is naming the beginning word sounds... It's good for in the car, around the house or out shopping. It can be such a fun way to keep their minds sharp even over the holiday. 

I wish all of you safe travels, joy, love and contentment this Christmas! 

'Luke2:7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.'

I am so incredibly proud of our class!!! Each and every child worked so hard to learn our Christmas program songs!!! I must say that when they sang silent night holding their little candles, I got tears in my eyes!!! What a blessing each child is! Thank you so much for supporting them and all their hard work! 

(Working out before singing practice!)

Wow this month is going so fast! Each little one in our class is so excited for Christmas.
