Still Seeing Monarchs!

We are part of the Journey North migration program. This is the time of the year that we record any sightings of monarchs in our area and report it to Journey North. Yesterday we noted that we are still seeing them in our school garden. With the days getting shorter and cooler we don't know how much longer they will be around.

Memory for this week 
The Fifth Commandment                                                                        

You shall not murder.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

Our memory for this week:
The Fourth Commandment                                                                        
Honor your father and your mother.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.
