This past week we prepared for the birth of Christ by rehearsing and performing our Christmas Concert! The focus was A Traditional Christmas, and the students learned timeless carols, including Silent Night and Joy to the World, which were woven in between the Nativity Play. What a wonderful experience it was to focus on the true meaning of Christmas!
We performed The Friendly Beasts, a peaceful song about the animals present in the stable the night Jesus was born. The children sang about what each animal did to welcome Jesus into the world. The donkey carried Mary, His mother, to Bethlehem. The cow gave his manger for a bed and the sheep shared his wool for warmth. The doves cooed from the rafters, soothing Jesus to sleep. The children's performance was beautiful.
Here are some special moments from the concert:
Thank you to the parents who sought out supplies and created such precious costumes for the children to wear. Thank you to Mrs. Montgomery for taking the photos of our class performing during the concert, used in the video above.
This week marks the third week of Advent. Throughout Advent, we have been discussing how we are preparing our hearts for the arrival of Jesus, and students are encouraged to take time to pray and find ways to share kindness with others.
May your families be blessed with peace and joy throughout this Christmas season!
