For example, “say please when you need something” or “clean up our messes when we are finished with something.” Write/draw out 3-5 simple Family Agreements and post them in a place that you and your child can easily see and access. Revisit your agreements throughout the day, noting when family members are following them well, or using them as a reminder when family members are having a hard time.

Continued Weekly Activity
3-D Plants
Invite your child to use recycled materials such as cardboard boxes or tubes and empty, clean food containers, to create three-dimensional plants. If no recyclable materials are available, children can use play-doh. Children can reference live plants, plastic or silk plants, or pictures of plants as they build their own plants. Encourage your child to name the plants and make their own labels for them. Please email or text a picture of any completed work to Please to: msserbonescovid19@gmail.com
Thank you to all the students and parents that have sent me pictures of the children's work!
