November 2025 | Calendars

Every November we're challenged to focus living with an attitude of gratitude. Science supports it, and Jesus preached it. Gratitude transforms our thinking. 

I wonder if we might employ this in the classroom, and perhaps you already do. When the mood gets dreary, work together to make a quick gratitude list. Or have a gratitude jar. Here, classmates deposit thankful statements. Pull one to read whenever your room needs a gratitude lift.

How do you practice gratitude in your classroom?

November 2025 Ideas for EVERY Day

Add "Would you rather..." questions into your daily holiday festivities this November to welcome even more JOY. Or get it (for free!) at our TPT store.

Also, consider sampling our JOY for Today posts, where we celebrate selected days throughout the year by offering facts, connections, scripture, quotes, and activity suggestions. Check out these posts for upcoming November holidays:

November's 2025 Growth for Today Calendar

This year, we're committed to grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus by learning more about Him. To achieve that end, we're studying the gospels and would love it if you'd join us! We suggest daily activities and post our Wolfe Notes in the "Faith Food" tab as we finish them. Our notes offer a glimpse at our understanding of the text, which we know is fallible and incomplete. We encourage you to undertake the activities on your own so you can enrich your own understanding of the text.

Please note: we are no longer following the pace set in these calendars. To update you on our progress, we're currently in Luke 1.

BLANK 2025 Calendars

Both our Idea for Every Day and Growth for Today calendars include a blank calendar for your convenience. Use it to pace your own activities for the month or for personal use. Here are the featured quotes:

A show with an autumn leaf stuck to it makes the background for this verse from Luke about gratitude.


We're praying for you, Leaders. We're praying that you know how important you are, that you see what an honor it is to serve the littles you serve, and that gratitude flows abundantly through you.

With you,

Red bowl with gray steam rising from top, Wolfe Stew written on front of bowl.

Keep going, Friends! The end is in sight. If you don't have a countdown going already, you might want to start one.  We, personally, cannot believe the end of the year is nearly here. With it, as always, comes sadness, hope, and the thrill of new beginnings. If you're like us, you're simultaneously thinking about the end of this year and the beginning of next.  To help you get through the end of the year, we've compiled engaging, cross-curricular activities for you. Know we're praying for you, and we hope you're doing the same for us.
