The lesson started with the story of Gloria the Christmas Angel.
We drew angels and talked about how important it is to do good things for other people.
Throughout Advent we open one of the gift bags in the front of the room.
Inside the bags there are three things:
1..... little story books (the books are the story of Mary and Joseph and their journey to Bethlehem),
2. ......some thing to go along with the books---mainly pieces from the Fisher Price Nativity Set---but I have added some Flannel board pieces as well.
3. ......something to give away to someone who helps us at school.
The children love opening the bags each morning........and the other teachers are enjoying the little gifts from the angels.
This is such a great idea! I love that you give little gifts to people who help at school. :) Thanks for sharing your idea!
