Silent Night



Openers:  
Oh Hey Oh Hi
Snowflake Dance

Bear's First Christmas (Kinerk) 3-5
Follow Bear through a cold winter night and see how he learns that the greatest gift of Christmas...is in his heart!

Song:  Love Grows
Finger Play:  Ten Little Fingers









Night and the Candlemaker (Somary and Bartram) 2-5
Somary and Bartram team up to introduce a very large idea within a very simple story children can embrace.  In a beautiful metaphor for Hope, observe the patient and wise candle maker as he sets about his task making light...a light that pierces even the blackest darkness.  (One of my favorites!)

Song:  This little light of mine


Night Gliders (Ryder) 2-4
Set to poetry that glides and descends as smoothly as these squirrels on a winter night, introduce children to a rarely-seen nocturnal resident of our northern forests--flying squirrels (actually, they glide...). 

Song:  Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Felt Board:  T'was the Night Before Christmas
Closer:  Wave Goodbye (Rob Reid)



Coming Next Week:
Jan Brett and an I Spy Christmas ornament craft!

Can't wait to see you all again...
