Advent Calendar
Y'all this advent calendar is my favorite Christmas tradition! It keeps my family focused on the reason for Christmas and keeps us in the holiday spirit every day of December. This picture was from last year and I just love how it turned out.
Every day we read a Bible verse from The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones and do one activity. I look forward to opening the envelope each day. As Cannon gets older I know he will look forward to these traditions also.
Here are some of the activities from last year:
Visit Santa
Attend the Christmas Parade
Make holiday paintings
Read Holiday books
Make holiday crafts
Bake cookies
Make a gingerbread house
Make ornaments
Reenact the birth of Jesus
Make gifts for others
Have breakfast with Santa
Have a holiday baking party with friends
If you are interested in creating your own calendar here are some of the resources.

The Wild Christmas Reindeer
My second graders have been learning about reindeer the last few weeks and they love it! My students enjoy non-fiction units of study, and they always look forward to creating a final product. I am still working on an idea for our final reindeer product, so if you have any ideas I;d love to hear them.
The first week we did a non-fiction unit on reindeer and we read Remarkable Reindeer wich is a really great book. The second week we did a fiction unit on reindeer and we read The Wild Christmas Reindeer. To download a copy of some of the sheets I created click on the link below.
