Third
grade students researched Christmas
Customs
using the Internet. Next, the students created a Word file and entered their
information to practice their text formatting skills. Then, the students opened a paint
program to create illustrations for their work. Finally, students copied and pasted their
artwork into Word.
The Advent Wreath
The Advent Wreath is shaped liked a circle. God’s love is endless. The Advent Wreath has four
candles. The colors of the candles are pink
and purple. They remind us that Jesus is the light of the world. We
should prepare our heart he is coming!
The Christmas Tree
One day a man named Martin Luther
looked at a tree and stars were shining though it. He rushed home and put candles
on the tree. You can put ornaments, popcorn, nuts, and apples.
I use ornaments on my tree. It’s
not safe to put candles on your tree because the tree can burn up.
Las Posadas
Posada means shelter in
Spanish. Mary and Joseph went to look for
a place for baby Jesus. He was born in Bethlehem.
We carry candles, sing songs, and ask for shelter during Las Posadas.
Neighbors say, “Go away there isn’t any more room here.” At last
they find shelter to celebrate Jesus’ birth.
