Here's what is going on in Church School this Sunday, December 9:
Preschool I and II, PreKindergarten, Kindergarten
Preschool students continue learning about the season of Advent. Mary and Joseph had to go to the city of Bethlehem before Jesus was born. How did they get there? Did they take a train or fly in an airplane? Students learn about the walk to Bethlehem and decorate foot-shaped cookies for snack.
First Grade
First grade students continue learning about Advent. What is a Jesse Tree? It is a decorative tree used during Advent to retell the stories of the Bible that explain Jesus's genealogy. Students make a Jesse Tree with ornaments from the Old Testament stories they learned about in class.
Second Grade
For the past several weeks, second grade students have been learning about Jesus's ancestors from the Old Testament and making Jesse Tree ornaments to represent these people and their stories. This Sunday, they assemble their Jesse Tree wreaths, complete any missing ornaments, and take the wreaths home to enjoy during Advent. Ask your student about the meaning behind the ornaments on his or her wreath.
Third Grade
During Advent, third grade students put together care packages for CSMSG parishioners living at the Gatesworth, a senior living community. This week the students complete the letters they began last Sunday introducing themselves to the parishioners. They also bake cookies to include with the letters. Next week they will make an ornament and assemble the care packages.
Fourth and Fifth Grades
Fourth and fifth grade students continue their monthly outreach project, making blankets for children at the St. Louis Crisis Nursery.
