Christmas HGO

 We started our day talking about the letter Jj. J for juh juh JOEL! J for juh juh JUICE! J for juh juh JACK string cheese! (that was our snack) While we ate the snack, we read the Christmas Story in the Jesus Storybook Bible (J for Jesus). The kids all sat on their own little cushion and we try to stick to two rules for reading: 1. Stay seated on your spot. 2. Keep ears open and mouths shut (no talking). 
 Then we looked at a candy cane and saw it was the shape of a letter J. We talked about where the candy cane came from, colored a candy cane minibook, then got a mini candy cane treat.
 The little ones played while we colored...
 Then we headed downstairs and did a lesson in following directions....
 Nothing's harder for a little guy than having to follow step-by-step directions when candy is involved and you really want to eat it...
 First you take a marshmallow, then stick in licorice for the legs...then snickers bars and tootsie rolls for the horsey....ya we lost them...sugar high and running around...
 The mommies finished up the nativity gingerbread houses with the occasional pop-in from the kids...
 It was a fun day!
