Activity:

Know that you are living through history right now!! How exciting!!

Take a moment to write to your future self - this will give you something to look back on in 10 years or so. You will be AMAZED at what went on.

 

Use a shoe box, an empty container, cereal box, anything that can hold a collection of papers, newspaper clippings, etc. Its fun. If you can take pictures of signs you see posted around your community that too, would be awesome. Here are a list of suggestions to add to your time capsule or memory box.

 

  • write a journal of what is happening 
  • write a journal of what it is you need to do to be safe.
  • newspaper clippings
  • posters/advertisements
  • pictures of your home, things you have done to occupy your time
  • pictures of your you and your dog social distancing
  • a list of vocabulary that you've heard over the past month that you NEVER heard before.
  • ART work you created
  • Family pictures
  • Special memories - maybe you've been baking/cooking add the recipe. Maybe you've built a fort. Explain how.

Adjustments:
You may draw pictures of what you are doing each day for 4 days, while you are practicing social distancing.  

You may also indicate ways how to be a good neighbor and still practice social distancing. 

Enough for this week. There will be more on this next week. I cannot wait to see what you've come up with.

Remember, if you want me to see your work, you can take pictures of it, even make a little video and send it to my email richard.williams@nbed.nb.ca. I will view it and provide some feedback.
