12/14-12/18

We had quite the busy week in 2B. We had our Advent Service...I was so proud of how well the kids did with memorizing their lines and the many songs they sang. They did a great job sharing the Good News of Jesus' birth with those in the congregation. On Thursday, we paid a visit to the North Pole via the Polar Express. It was a fun filled day filled with all things Polar Express...and lots of pajamas!

Our assembly line made an extremely long chain
