Welcome to my blog! Or welcome back. During these strange and interesting times, I thought it would be a good idea to resurrect this blog as a way to spread some cheer and encouragement along with some activities you can do.
Whether you're a teacher or a parent, it seems like the world has been turned upside-down and it might be hard to focus on learning activities when you're just trying to survive. Look no further! You're in a safe space now. Take a deep breath. Ignore the chaos for a minute. Focus on saying, "It will be ok. It will all work out. I survived another day and I am here." Good! You did it!
One of the best things I've seen come out of this whole situation is people being generous and good to each other. Authors are giving blanket permission for their works to be read aloud. Entertainers are doing what they do best from their own homes, not knowing if the theaters they worked at will even be there. I keep hearing stories of toilet paper exchanges and people leaving food at truck stops and offering each other jobs and necessities.
Even the government is working together to help. Democrats and Republicans playing nicely with each other! Look out the window; do you see any pigs flying? Yes, the world is scary right now and we don't know when the situation will get better. But we can be here for each other. I heard a great quote the other day: "Physical distancing does not mean social distancing."
So let's communicate with each other, create a worldwide classroom, and share ideas!
Today, I have a circle time video for you. It includes an activity and a challenge.
You can comment your answer to the challenge below. I would love to do something like HitRecord, where we all collaborate to make something. One day. In the meantime, leave your answer or ideas in the comments below!
And remember:
