your Christmas lesson. Since we are celebrating  baby Jesus's birthday today our words today are  

Jesus Christ and that is the  central figure of christianity;  

and Christmas the celebration of Jesus's birth.

So show us those words Claire.

Okay so we have Jesus. Let's start with that.  

So to say Jesus we are going to start with that j  sound j. And to do this you're going to touch the  

tip of your tongue to the back of your top front  teeth and then pull it back quickly for that j  

j j sound. Next move to that long e tongue is  high and flat smile and hold that long e je.  

Next we're going to move to the z  sound yes the z spelled with an s;  

but we're going to pronounce a z here. And to  do that the tip of your tongue is going to be  

pointed slightly down or just behind the top front  teeth. It is not touching. Your voice box is on  

and moving. Then we're going to move to that short  uh. Just relaxed mouth and then end with an s.  

Again tip of the tongue is down or behind  the top front teeth it is not touching.

Let's put it all together:

jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus

And now for the next two words can you  hold this up to the side maybe over here.  

Let's see how we're gonna do that? Okay  perfect! Okay this gets confusing because  

the word Christ is pronounced with a long I  and Christmas is pronounced with a short i and  

no t. That t is silent. So to say Christ and  Christmas we're going to start with that kr  

and to do that tip of your tongue is  down back of your tongue is pulled high  

up for that k. Keep your tongue there.  Square tense lips and then say that R.

For the long i open mouth moves to a smile.  For the short i relaxed mouth mouth is just  

slightly open. Tip of your tongue will  just be peeking out below your top teeth.  

Then we're going to move to the s for both  of those tip of the tongue is either down  

or behind the top front teeth. Sorry about that.  And the air is going to be moving so we have cry  

and chris. Now for the s t here you know  how to say the s, then what you're going  

to do is just touch the tip of your tongue to  the back of your top front teeth for that t.  

Christ Christ Christ. Try that second  part Christ Christ one more time Christ.

And then for Christmas, after you say that s,  

new syllable and then you're  just going to end with mus.  

Lips together for that m, open relaxed mouth for  that uh, and then you know the drill for the s.

Let's put it all together chris mus chris muss christmas christmas christmas 

christmas christmas christmas

And let's try those words one  more time Jesus Christ Christmas

Try them all Jesus Christ Christmas.

And we have another special guest star today.  Who do we have Claire? Show them. We brought
