Create and display the TRUE meaning of Christmas**! Daily Devotions, Prayers, Scripture Readings, Ornaments & Advent Tree** are ALL included in this Jesse Tree resource to give you all you need to engage learners every day of this advent season!

This advent activity is called “The Jesse Tree” because of the Bible verse in Isaiah that describes a shoot, which is like a bud or new leaf, coming up from a tree stump of Jesse. Jesse’s family will grow and grow through the years; eventually, Jesus will be born! So this is sort of like Jesus’ family tree!

You will get:

• Daily Devotions: 1 introduction and 25 daily devotions that will guide you and your children/students in a daily Scripture reading, devotion, and prayer. Read aloud to a younger class or have older learners read themselves.

• Ornaments: 25 Ready to print and cut-out ornaments, provided in color and black and white.

• Printable Jesse Tree - 3 printable Jesse Tree options given. Two color options- one with placement guides and one blank, one black and white.

• Mini Jesse Tree Coloring Book - 25 half-page coloring pages with the Jesse Tree symbol/image and the correlating Bible verse.

This is the PERFECT Christmas Advent activity:

The Jesse Tree recounts many of the Old and New Testament stories that led up to Christ's birth. Through these stories, we will see how God had a plan to send His son the whole time!! Included in this printable Jesse Tree activity are:

• Introduction & The Bible
• The Creation
• The Fall (Adam and Eve)
• The Rainbow (Noah)
• Abram's Tent
• The Ram (Abraham/Isaac)
• Jacob's Dream
• Joseph's Coat
• The Passover
• The Law (Ten Commandments)
• Rahab's Rope
• Ruth's Grain
• Young David
• King David
• Isaiah's Message
• Daniel's Angel
• Jonah's Fish
• Bethlehem
• Zechariah
• John
• Mary
• Joseph
• Elizabeth
• The Trinity
• Jesus is Born

Each day you will learn about one of these stories by Scripture reading, devotion and prayer.

Then, cut and paste the provided correlating Christmas ornament on the Jesse tree!

There is also the option to have the younger one's color a page in the mini coloring book provided for each day of advent.

Thank you and HAPPY TEACHING!

---------------------------------------

** NOTE**

There are literally hundreds of prophecies Jesus fulfilled. The Jesse tree does not limit them or tell everything there is to know about our wonderful Savior. With this in mind, you will find The Jesse Tree has been designed in many different ways and created with varying Bible stories and images and this is ok. I hope you enjoy the one I put together through much prayer and Bible study. I was truly inspiring to see Jesus in all the stories!

Prep for this activity DOES INCLUDE A TINY BIT OF YOUR TIME:

French Christmas Activity Pack for the classroom

This resources comprises a variety of fun and exciting Halloween activities that can help to support a Science of Reading based program in your French classroom. My students squealed with delight this week as I started to unveil the Christmas themed learning centres to go along with my phonics programming. Students knew that as soon as we were done with explicit instruction ‘Let the games begin’ and begin they did.

Students remained on task, dedicated to their own activity, and were cooperating and collaborating with their partners while speaking and learning French decoding, Christmas vocabulary, and having a ton of fun!

Activities include:

1. Roll, read, cover: students roll the die, count the numbers, read down the row, and place a counter on the bottom word. The students who finishes the row gets a point

2. Word Hunt: find the words hidden in the picture. Fun Christmas themed images with hidden sounds and words. Students use a magnifying glass to find the words

3. Close sentences: fill in the blanks using the Christmas words

4. Highlighter activity pages: copy and place pages into clear folders and watch students as they hunt for the sounds. Count them up and record their answer in the square

5. Pyramid reading cards: students practice reading fluency and proficiency with fun Christmas themed sentences. These make a great activity for sending home for student homework around the holiday season.

6. Write the room: find the hidden flashcards and write in the word for each on your master list. Students LOVE this activity!!

Detailed instructions for each activity are set out at the top of each activity and could not be easier.

There is a little cutting and laminating involved with some activities but many use clear folders to make your job easier!

Perfect for a sub binder, emergency plans, or as a back up activity when you happen to have a few minutes to spare. A great set to have on hand as an extra centre activity at Halloween time. Your K-3 Immersion students will love them!

When to use this resource in the classroom:

These activity sheets are Christmas themed and can be used for the entire month of October and even into the week following Xmas. Students love using them and they can be helpful for follow-up assessment. Just in time for progress reporting period!

I hope your students enjoy learning their vowel sounds and exploring phonemic awareness with a Holiday Theme!

This has been a fun way for students to review their letters. I love that each page gives students an opportunity to write the letter, find the letter and find the sounds. Merci!

Looking for some fun seasonally-themed handwriting activities for the winter? This bundle includes 40 holiday-themed worksheets for winter and three other winter holidays. These sentence practice worksheets will help your child or student build sentences and write sentences independently while connecting the image with the sentence's meaning.

Students can use the finger-spacing tool (in three different skin tones) to assist them in perfect word spacing. Students can also color the seasonally-themed pictures that illustrate the sentence they are practicing writing.

✏️ This bundle will save you 20% on all enclosed products!

✏️ NOTE: You can use the finger-spacing buddy as is, laminate it, and/or attach it to a popsicle stick for further support of little hands. It’s recommended to print the finger-spacing buddy on thicker paper, such as cardstock.

✏️ This resource includes:

   ✏ 40 seasonally-themed sentence-building worksheets

   ✏ 3 diverse skin-toned pointer-finger hands

   ✏ No prep! Simply print and distribute with scissors and glue

✏️ Seasons and Holidays included:

   ✏ Winter

   ✏ Chinese New Year

   ✏ Christmas

   ✏ Valentine's Day

✏️ Please download the preview to view a sample of the included pages.
