In Religion class today, we listened to the story about the legend of the candy cane. The candymaker made it a hard candy to remind us that Jesus is our rock. The white reminds us that Jesus never sinned; the red reminds us of the blood Jesus shed for us. It is shaped like a cane as a reminder that Jesus is our Good Shepherd. After the story, we made a candy cane ornament to remind us of this legend. Have a look:
Then it was time to open presents. I am beyond grateful for everything and so taken back by everyone's generosity. Thank you so much! The students also had fun tearing into their presents. I would love to see your houses on Christmas morning!
Before lunch, we played several games of Christmas Bingo. Everyone had fun!
It was a bit of a sad day in first grade. It was the last time Jingles would be with us. We enjoyed having him in our classroom, and he enjoyed us too. He left us a book today. Here are the pictures of where Jingles was this week in our classroom:
Over the next few weeks, may you and your family enjoy the holidays together. May you laugh, love, and eat together. May you find time to sit back and soak in the magic of the season and remember the reason for the season. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! See you in 2018!
