What an exciting month it's been! I always love this time of year, and this year we've done some especially exciting and interesting things. We started by making cards to bring to residents in a local nursing home. We also practiced songs to sing for them while we were there. This group of kids is so creative and theatrical and we had as much fun practicing as we did singing at the nursing home.
The performance included red-painted noses for Rudolph, bells for Jingle Bells, and cute hats for the 12 Days of Christmas.
We got to sing to a few more residents as we passed out cards in the rooms.
We pray we could be a blessing to some who may not have a lot of joy this Christmas season.
Shortly before break, we had pajama day and decorated cookies. It was a sugar-filled day full of fun!
We also made ornaments by dripping painting into clear plastic bulbs and swirling it around.
The finished products were so pretty!
The last big day before Christmas was Narnia Day. The kids entered the wardrobe and were transported into "Narnia".
The room was transformed to look like the winter wonderland of Narnia, complete with a lamppost.
All lit up!
We had a scavenger hunt when the kids followed poetic clues to look for the special snack: Turkish delight!
Still looking...
Found it! (it doesn't look as appetizing as it was)
We had a little archery practice with toy bows and arrows.
We did some Narnia-themed crafts: bead necklaces and crowns.
After lunch we watched The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
We were so busy that we didn't get a chance to take a group shot of all the great costumes, but I managed to get a picture of what I wore.
I love days like this! Just some of the things that make teaching an adventure!
