October 2021 has been a remarkably interesting month to say the least! Praising God for His new mercies everyday… AMEN! 

Here’s what’s happening for the month of November! ENJOY!!!

Our memory verse of the month is found in Psalms 118:1 Oh, give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good!  We repeat (and will repeat) this verse every day for the remainder of the month and find ways to rejoice, celebrate and be thankful!

ON THE GO This month, your child will explore the fascinating world of transportation! We will design a road and create traffic signals and bridges. We will explore flight in an airplane, a hot air balloon and a helicopter. Then we’ll make a boat and test it in water. We’ll count dollars and buy a ticket on the ferry while discovering how ferries can also transport cars and other vehicles too! There are so many ways to go from point A to point B; Which one is your family’s favorite way to be on the go?
