We have been having a great time here at the Caterpillar Clubhouse! Here is what’s happening for the month of October…

• This month we will be reading A Little Girl is Healed by Karen Williamson. The story of Jairus and his daughter is told to teach our children to seek God for healing! Also, understanding the importance of praying and interceding for others! You can find this book at the Potomac Adventist Bookstore… You can also see the visual story of Jairus and his daughter https://youtu.be/huprM2yiW78

• Our memory verse of the month is found in Jeremiah 17:14 – Heal me, OH LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my praise! We repeat (and will repeat) this verse every day for the remainder of the month and discover the healing power of calling on the name of the Lord… for ourselves and for others!

• Our theme for the month of OCTOBER is WEATHER & SEASONS! Each season brings big changes to weather and the surroundings your child sees. This month your child will learn about precipitation, storms and the signs of changing seasons. Your child will create a weather wheel, gather nature items for a hibernating bear, make a thunder shaker, and explore the effects of wind and water. Help your child be a weather watcher every day and explore the wonders of nature. Click   Weather & Seasons Newsletterto learn more about theme this month.

• Ladies and Gents! Let’s show up and show out looking our absolute BEST! On Thursday, October 29^th beginning at 8:30am, LIFETOUCH PHOTO will be doing student pictures. Unlike years before, we will conduct picture day outdoors (weather permitting). If the weather is not agreeable we will conduct picture day in the gym. There will be no class pictures for social distancing purposes; instead we will present a class collage. All photographers must submit a negative COVID-19 test result and all activities will be performed following our guidelines of social distancing. If you are not comfortable with your child taking his/her photo, please contact the director. An informational packet will be sent with our theme, color pallets and more!
