Christ the King

Hail, Jesus, You're My King

Before we could prepare for the new beginning of Advent, we had to say goodbye to the passing of another church year as we celebrated Christ the King Sunday.  What a great opportunity to get out the liturgical calendar in our classroom Atrium and discuss the church year.  It was a great reminder of all the liturgical colors (especially as we discussed what color Father's vestment was on this particular Sunday...Many argued it was orange!!) and a great way to predict what we will begin to see next Sunday as we enter the season of Advent.

Our activities included a coloring page of Our King, which we bedecked and bejeweled.  The munchkins loved it!

The finished products were lovely!

This particular activity led to a great language exercise, discussing the special sound of "ing"...as in "king".

The munchkins got the chance to practice using this new combination of letters in a quick writing activity.  Boy, do we have some great kindergarten writers!

Be sure to click on each one to get a closer look at the exceptional handwriting, conventional spelling and artwork of our munchkins.  They do a great job.  Who would expect this was done independently by 5 year olds??

Well...I guess we should know that things wouldn't be complete (not in this classroom anyway) unless there was a recipe!

We made crowns for The King.

But many of the munchkins tried them on...
Oh my!  Are those cupcake sprinkles in your hair?

Some even stayed...

Hail, Jesus, You're my King!

Your life frees me to sing!

I will praise You all my days!

You are perfect in every way!

Hail, Hail, Lion of Judah!

How wonderful You are!

Until next time...

Giggles,

Mrs. D.
