They meet the definition of a wreath that we read earlier. (Pull out the second “inappropriate wreath.”)Īsk: What’s the problem with these wreaths? I mean, they’re in the right shape, right? (Pull out one of the “inappropriate wreaths” and enjoy the students’ response.) However, some materials just shouldn’t be used to make a wreath. Or ‘something having a circular or coiling form.’Īccording to those definitions, these are both ‘wreaths.’Įxplain: I would gladly hang either of these wreaths in front of my house, even though they are made of different materials. Say: According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, a wreath is either ‘something intertwined or arranged in a circular shape.’ (Take responses and then show your “different” wreath.)Īsk: Is this considered a wreath also? (Sure)
Show the students the standard wreath and ask if anybody knows what it is called.Īfter getting the answer (wreath), Ask: What is it that makes something a wreath? Place this sign out of sight near the teaching area.
Place these 2 “inappropriate wreaths” out of sight, but near the teaching area.Īlso, make a sign that reads, “IT LOOKS LIKE A WREATH, BUT IT’S NOT RIGHT.” You can accomplish this by gluing the “inappropriate” material to a cardboard ring. In addition, make one or two “inappropriate wreaths” out of material that really should not be used for a wreath.įor example, make them out of bacon or doll heads or toilet paper rolls. Place this “different” wreath out of sight but near the teaching area. Get a standard wreath (made of green branches) and place it on a table.Īlso, get one that is made of a different material-something interesting, but not too unusual.įor example, one made of ornaments or twigs. Note: If you’re tight on time (or budget), an alternative to having a real wreath is to find pictures of some online, insert into PowerPoint or some other presentation software, and show to students.

The teaching part is pretty short, so you will have to add some of your own content to make it a complete message. Okay, back to the Inappropriate Wreaths Christmas lesson…. I also found out after the fact that my 13 year old son slid down the roof of our house on a wheel-less skateboard and landed on the ground. Shorty after this pic was taken, enough snow fell on the ground to make a small snowman. I snagged this pic of them when the snow first started to come down:įrom left to right: Emma (12), Ethan (16) & Joey (13). Those who live in colder climates than us would have a good laugh at our city basically shutting down for the day because of just a few inches of snow and a ground breaking 32 degrees day. So, for us it was a big deal.Īlthough it only snowed a few inches, all the schools shut down for the day. The last time it snowed in the New Orleans area was over 8 years ago. It includes a fun opening game – Human Christmas Tree. What’s all this business about inappropriate wreaths? Well…you’ll have to check out the lesson to find out (hint: it’s very inappropriate).
