DayStrider: Tales from a Time Traveler
Jun 3rd: Chicken or the Egg?
June 3rd is a great day in history! It is filled with intrigue and thought provoking questions that you won’t wanna miss - as well as a handful of incredible movies you can add to your watch list. Today’s stories include:
- Pondering the age-old question about the “chicken and the egg” - learn which really came first!
- We’ll enter into the eerie world of one of the most talented storytellers of our time - and meet a wonderful character who was introduced to us on this day. Do you think you can guess the storyteller and the character before I reveal them?
- Do you know anyone who participates in the ROTC program? If not, you will after today - and you can learn about how our nation develops military leaders.
If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, why not learn a little more about today by listening to some fun, engaging stories. You’ll find yourself a little smarter and have some great stories you can share! If you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (along with links to where you can find them on Amazon).
