Advent Retreat

On November 30, the Kindergarten, first grade,  and second grade classes had an Advent retreat. We divided the kids into mixed grade level groups and then each group rotated to three classrooms to learn about Advent. We learned about the Holy Family, the Annunciation, and about Advent in general. We talked about Advent wreaths too.

The kids in my room also helped make this bulletin board display of Bethlehem. 

 Last week, my class learned about Mary. Here is an anchor chart that we made.

 We also made these cute crafts from the Oriental Trading Company. 




We had a wonderful time learning about Advent.

We Are Thankful For

I know this post is a month late, but here is a cute anchor chart that my kids and I made about what we are thankful for. 


We are also thankful for rain. It rained last week and we saw a beautiful rainbow.  Rainbows remind us of God's promise to always be there for us when we need him. 

So beautiful!
