Happy Advent!

Greetings! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather. As we begin the season of Advent, I thought I share with you what first grade will be doing this Advent season. I created an Advent calendar. Each day, one student will reach into an envelope and pull out a picture which will relate to something Jesus did or taught. We will then read a Bible story that helps explain the meaning of the picture. Afterwards, we will  add these pictures around our manger as we wait for Jesus to come. So, for today, we pulled out a quarter and grapes. The quarter reminds us to share what we have and the grapes symbolize Jesus' first miracle. Here is a picture of our Advent calendar.
