Learning Intention: We are learning the meanings of some Christmas decorations.
Success Criteria: I am successful when I can read and understand the meanings behind of some Christmas Decorations.
(Wreath) Just as there is no end to the wreath, God's love never ends.
(Christmas Tree) Evergreen trees stay green all year. They remind us that we can live forever with Jesus.
(Candy Cane) The candy cane is like the shapes of a shepherd's staff. A shepherd uses his staff to guide his sheep. The candy cane reminds us that Jesus is our guide as we follow Him.
(Lights and Stars) The lights and stars reminds us of the star the wise men followed to find Jesus. In the Bible, Jesus called Himself, " The light of the world."
(Gifts) Gifts remind us of the greatest gift ever given - God's gift of His Son, Jesus. Gifts also can remind us of the presents the wise men gave Jesus.
(Pointed Holly Leaves) The pointed holly leaves remind us of the crown of thorns Jesus wore as He hung on the cross. The red berries reminds us of His blood.
(Bell) Each sheep in a shepherd's fold wore a bell so the shepherd could tell where it was, if the sheep wandered off. The bells remind us Jesus knows where we are and wants to save us.
