December 11, 2020

 

This week we learned that the angel told Mary and Joseph that the baby should be named 
JESUS, which means "GOD SAVES".
The prophets foretold that Jesus name would be 
EMMANUEL, which means, "GOD IS WITH US"
Make time this weekend to worship and prepare your heart for the Baby who came to earth to be WITH US and to SAVE US!
A Look Ahead:
Religion: The Christmas story
Memory: Luke 2:11
Spelling: long o with a silent e lesson 14
Grammar: singular and plural nouns
Writing:publishing
Phonics:blends, beginning words with 2 sounds 
Math: working with money
Art: Nativity Art

FRIDAY IS A HALF DAY WITH DISMISSAL AT NOON!
I have planned a small party for us including a snack-activity, BINGO, and short Christmas video.

Christmas Spirit Week is NEXT WEEK - December 14-18

My daughter, Hannah, is having surgery on Monday.  I will be here Monday but plan to be gone Tuesday afternoon to be with her in the hospital.  Thank you for your prayers.

I really enjoy preparing for Christmas with the kids, this second week of Advent.  I look forward to next week, the third week of Advent and the JOY it will bring!

Enjoy the pictures from this week and spend time worship our Savior who comes to bring JOY!

In HIM,
Amy
