Welcome to February!

After suck a crazy week we just had with all the adjustments, we are thankful for everyones willingness to be flexible and thankful to the Lord everyone was safe and no further damages or issues hit our beautiful island.

The packet covers lessons 1-3 from Chapter 16 in their text books, on Electricity pages 105-111.
