Ornaments

Theme: Ornaments
Objective: Christmas Ornaments can help us to remember Jesus

Choosing Time: Trains, dolls, & water drawing mat
Snack: Thank you Spencer for a delicious & fun snack today! Thank you also for being a TERRIFIC helper. I really put him to work today & he was a super help!

Lesson: We compared Santa to Jesus as we read a sweet children's book. As we found an ornament hidden in the pages of the book we took turns hanging them on our Christmas tree. We also sang a song with each ornament.

Book: I Believe in Santa Claus by Diane Adamson

Music & Movement: "Countdown Work-out", Jingle Bells, Christmas Bells, Snow is Falling, Once Their Was A Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Jesus Wants Me For A Sun Beam, The Shepherd's Carol, & Fire Truck
We used a lot of energy today singing & moving! I also passed out some pipe bells for the children to play. We will play them again to learn a song :)
Art: Marbled Christmas Ball Ornaments--The children had fun watching the paint swirl around inside of their ornaments. It was fun to see what colors each child chose and how the colors mixed together.
