We are currently on day nine of our Twelve Days of Christmas unit. If you have been following along with our blog, you have noticed that we are working on a unit based on the meaning behind the 12 Days of Christmas song. We are suing this book by Helen Haidle as our core book for the unit as well as resources from around the web.
J started the lesson with coloring the sheet for the day. They both loved this - which surprised me.
Kaleb worked on his fruits of the Holy Spirit coloring sheet. This will end up in his bag book pocket. This free printable came from Christian Preschool Printables (link below).
They also made a mini fruit of the Holy Spirit bracelet. While coloring, they practiced naming the fruits. This free printable came from Mrs. Jones Creation Station (link below).
Kaleb painted the dancer and the paper for her desk using water colors. The idea for his ornament came from Krokotak (link below).
J worked on her lap book pieces - she looked up each fruit and wrote the definition as well as an example of each in the mini books.
Kaleb's finished works - his dancer ornament (I trimmed the dress some after the picture), his bag book labels, his coloring sheet, the fruit basket, and his bracelet.
J made some ladies dancing using a ballerina template and snowflakes. She loved these so much that she made several. I think we will hang these from her ceiling in her room.
J's finished items - fruit of the Spirit mini book, accordion book, basket, coloring page, bracelet, and her dancer ornament.
We struggled with day nine because of sickness but we finally caught up. They finished their projects a day or two later so we were able to move on. Have an awesome day.
