We will grind corn for cornbread and popcorn for our celebration. In science we are learning the differences between living and non- living. In geography we are introducing South America and its animals. In art we will combine finger paint technique and printing to create a composition inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night.

Poem: Psalm 100 the Bible

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands, serve the LORD with gladness; come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God, it is he that hath made us. And not we ourselves we are his people and the sheep of his pasture,. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise, be thankful unto him and bless his holy name. For the LORD is good his mercy is everlasting and his truth endureth to all generations. “Children flourish in an atmosphere of acceptance, trust and respect.” Maria Montessori
