Add caption

I know I am a few days late getting this posted but hopefully you will still find some fun holidays to celebrate this month.  My kids love these calendars even if it is just to see what holiday lands on a certain day.  We do not celebrate all of these holidays and when we do we keep it simple. I'd love to hear what holidays you plan to celebrate and some of your ideas for celebrations :)

This month I found 25 fun holidays to include on our July Calendar.  Pick a few or all and have fun :)

I have some really exciting news!  I have been working with a very sweet person from Switzerland and we are excited to announce that we will now be offering these Free Come Follow Me lesson helps in German!   She has generously offered to translate the activities and share them with you.  I am deeply touched by her kindness and am so happy we can help more of you as you teach your families and primary classes the gospel.

Ich freue mich sehr, das Material zum Leitfaden "Komm und folge mir nach" nun auch in Deutsch anbieten zu können! Viele Eltern finden es schade, dass es meistens nur schöne Unterrichtsvorschläge auf englisch gibt. Hoffentlich kann ich so viele Eltern und PV Lehrer unterstützen. Bitte seid nachsichtig, die Uebersetzung ist sicherlich nicht immer fehlerfrei. Dazu kommt, dass die Uebersetzung in der Schweiz gemacht wird und dort gelten manchmal andere Rechtschreibregeln. Aber ich gebe mein Bestes! Viel Spass mit dem Material!
