Welcome 2015!!

We are happy to welcome the kids back to school this week! We will spend a lot of time talking about what we did over Christmas Break. Who we saw, where we went and of course what we got for Christmas.

During Jesus time we will learn about the wise men and how they followed the star to find the baby king.

Gifts for Baby Jesus

Matthew 2:1-12

Soon many of the people who came to register in Bethlehem went home. Mary and Joseph moved into a house. One day they had visitors who came from far away in the east. These visitors were wise men. They had followed a bright start to find little Jesus. They bowed down and worshiped God's only Son and gave Him expensive presents of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

These are a few of the activities planned for this week:

*Choosing and painting gifts for baby Jesus

*Learning our new color, number and shape

*Stamping and counting 6 stars

*Beginning our artwork for NLSW

(painting background, stamping circles to make snowmen, decorating snowmen)

*Cutting practice

*Using daubers on M page in our ABC book

*Marble painting

*Creating with new white play doh
