Dec. 8, 2008 - Making baby Jesus haystacks...
We got this idea off the Christmas Unit Study we're doing. It was a great time making them with the kids and talking about what a 'manger,' 'inn,' and 'stable' are --I realized they were quite confused. Mason said "I thought baby Jesus was born in an inter and manger was the spanish word for hay?" Aparently we need to scale back on the spanish time,and up our Bible time--LOL!
You have to use your imagination---the marshmallows are supposed to represent baby Jesus
Reading seems to have really clicked with Mason. He's reading sentences like these...
'Jenny has a rusty penny.'
'Andy has a fuzzy kitty.'
'Gus gulps ten big sand mints!'
'Ben felt jumpy and sick.'
...even reading his brothers a few Level 1 reading books.
The other BIG news at our house is Mya is walking! She's up to 15 steps. I couldn't figure out how to flip the video---sorry!
