Fable Day: The Bundle of Sticks

Virtue: Be Wise
Habit/Motto:  Begin with the End in Mind
Story: Bundle of Stick Fable, or Ant and Grasshopper fable. (or other fable that could be geared to winter)
(did a yoga/movement story about building a snowman and putting sticks in for arms. And other winter library books.)

Song/Finger Play: 
Once There Was a Snowman
B-I-N-G-O --SNOW version (I made this up something like: In the winter time there's snow, which falls to the ground. S-N-O-W. It may sound lame, but it helped the boys learn to spell snow.)

Yoga Pose: star, waterfall (for snow fall), warrior, elephant (like collecting sticks)
[story about snow falling down (waterfall, doll), building a snowman and collecting sticks for it--or a fire--or skating on the ice (warrior)]

Craft/Activity: choose depending on age--listed easy to complex
A) paper snowflakes (also make snowflake tree)

Share: place ornaments on a group tree (can get back after christmas)
