December 5th - 9th

Wow! What a great week we had.  I am so proud of the class for learning and working so hard on their partsin the play.  During our Bible time, we have discussed how this play is ourgift to Jesus.  It is His birthday. We will continue to have fun learning the meaning behind many of our traditions and how they tie into Christ's birth.  We look forward to sharing the Christmas play and the things we learn with you!
