The Week Before Christmas: JV Style!

Twas the week before Christmas,
And all through the halls,
The students (and their teacher),
Were bouncing off the walls!




To keep the kids focused,
To keep them engaged,
Loads of fun things were planned,
For the last 5 days!


As our week began, 
The third candle was lit,
The pink candle of JOY,
Oh, what a perfect fit!

We did an art project,
Built a stable of wood,
Added our Holy Family,
Beneath a star they stood.

We rehearsed for the concert,
Sang of the holy night,
We practiced and practiced,
No sign of stage fright!



As a treat for the audience
We coloured programs bright
Focusing on the true meaning
Of that wondrous night!



While the gym was very busy, 
We moved by stacking cups!
Dexterity and patterning
Made our cup stacks go up!



Each day we kept reading,
For math we had time,
These kids do love writing,
A favourite pastime!


We heard Axios mens choir
And a bandura was played
They sang Ukrainian carols
We wished they could stay!



Grandma Theresa shared games
She played as a child
Then we played our own games
And things got really wild!






We each had a friend's name
And wrapped socks for their feet
We unwrapped our surprise
To find our own cozy treat!


Cozy in jammies
We gathered to see
The movie The Star
Told by a special donkey!



The week reached it's end,
And the holiday drew near,
Merry Christmas to all!
See you in the New Year!




Love and Christmas blessings, 

Mrs. Beliveau
