People. You will learn about the Jesse Tree and its significance in our season of Advent, as we await
the coming of the ‘Flower of Jesse’, Jesus. Now it is your turn to bring your own creation to the class
as we make our own Jesse Tree ornaments. Read and complete the directions below. Bring your

cleaners, wood pieces, felt, beads, macaroni, 3-D paint, needlework, glitter, paper-maché, sequins,
etc. Be creative! You must use more than pen/pencil and paper.

your project, neatness, following directions.
4. Place your name, room number and Jesse Tree title on the back of the leaf.
