This week we learned more about Advent and how it is a time of waiting. Then each grade made a different version of an Advent wreath. The youngest grades made one with a paper plate and Grades 1-2 made one out of pipe cleaners. The oldest grades worked together to make one big wreath for our classroom using construction paper, tissue paper pieces, toilet paper tubes and pipe cleaner “flames”! We will “light” another candle on that wreath each week. The students had fun learning and explaining what each candle means and when to light each one during Advent.
All students also received an Advent calendar they can use to countdown the days until Christmas. Printed behind each window is a small segment of the story from Luke 2. By the time Christmas arrives they will have read the entire story!
