Delayed to to technical issues!

I am so thankful for each and every one of you! I love being your teacher, even if we are going to school in a whole new way! I especially enjoy the messages, pictures and comments that you share with me.

It can be difficult, wonderful and even both to stay home with your family for this long! We are not used to living our lives this way. Sometimes, I get upset. Maybe you do to! The dogs bark too much! My kids don’t help with the dishes! I get tired of cooking dinner.

i found this short relaxation video that helps me. I thought it might help you too. Invite your family and try it:

And the fun for the day…

 

1st idea: find a deck of playing cards. Try playing:

2nd idea: If your house is like my house, there are always socks laying around….Here’s a game to use them:
For this game you will need 10-20 socks rolled up into balls:

• Divide the room into two equal halves, and place the socks on the line in the middle (you could use masking tape to mark). Divide all the kids into two equal teams.
• When the game starts, the object of the game is to get as many socks onto the other teams side of the room before time is up.
• Team members must stay on their side of the room and toss the socks over to the other sides.
• A team member cannot hold onto a sock for more than 10 seconds before having to throw it.
• You could also add in beach balls of varying sizes with the socks, for variety.

3rd Idea

Of course – Paper Airplane Races! Follow this wiki to learn basic and advanced folding styles:
