The Jesse Tree







In December we began preparing for our Christmas holidays by creating a Jesse Tree. We learned that the Jesse tree is a tree that reminds us of the history of Jesus before his birth. It's symbols represent stories from the bible. These stories tell of God and the many promises he made to his people. The tree's ornaments follow the heritage of Jesus Christ, beginning with the Creation Story and ending with the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Samantha and Michael had fun painting the ornaments and gluing on their images.
