Preparing the Manger

This Advent download is a two-for-one: an overview of the classroom Advent wreath and easy instructions on how to set up a classroom manger that will encourage students to focus on preparing to receive Jesus at Christmas.

With the progression of candles, lit from week to week, the Advent wreath is a powerful tool in teaching us to look forward to Christmas.  The download (available below) gives a brief explainer on the symbolism of the Advent wreath and some highly practical suggestions for using it in your classroom. If you want more information and prayers to say with it, Hallow has some excellent resources.
