SPECIALIST ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES:
EACH WEEK WE WILL SHARE SPECIALS ACTIVITIES FOR
YOU TO COMPLETE AT HOME
WEEKLY ART ENRICHMENT
Explore the world of Textile Art!
Textile means working with yarn, fabric or other fibers to create a work of
art. Use yarn or old t-shirts to create your own weaving, or even use old tshirt
fabrics to create your own pillow or quilt. Can’t find a sewing needle?
No problem! Cut up old pieces of fabric or felt and glue on cardboard to
create a textile collage! You can even paint on the fabric! Explore the
possibilities! https://youtu.be/AWLIy-Um7_0
WEEKLY PE ENRICHMENT
Create Your Own Bowling!
This week I am challenging you to create your own bowling
lane and learn how to bowl. Please check out my blog post for the
instructions/videos. Have fun😊
WEEKLY STEM ENRICHMENT
Duct Tape Challenge
This week’s STEM challenge will be a Duct Tape Challenge. For this
challenge, you will be able to create whatever you want as long as it is
primarily made out of duct tape! You will also be able to use other
recyclable materials you can find around your home, but I want to you to
challenge yourself even more by trying to use as few other materials as
possible. There are many great resources online that can be used to help
you create something wonderful. Find some of those resources on Mr.
Hanft’s blog at https://davisstem.weebly.com .
WEEKLY LIBRARY ENRICHMENT
Create a Book Review
Access Sora in Cobb Digital Library. Listen to or read one of the many eBooks
or Audiobooks located in the collection. Write a review for Davis students
who may also want to read the book. Tell us about the characters, setting,
and plot of the book, but no spoilers!

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
WEEKLY COUNSELING ENRICHMENT
Practice Digital Citizenship
Being a good digital citizen means being responsible for what you say and
do when you are online. This includes keeping everyone safe by not sharing
personal information. It also includes being kind to others when online and
reporting to a trusted adult if you see or hear anything that makes you feel
uncomfortable. It is just as important to be kind and
respectful when you are online as it is in your daily interactions with others.
Remember to stop and think before saying things online and off. Play these
games to test your digital citizenship knowledge:

From Ms. Bernier, School Counselor for Fifth Grade students:
Since my last post and prior to our unexpected break due to
the Coronavirus, we covered many topics in the classrooms lessons I conducted
that include Personal Safety; Empathy; Generosity; Service & Mentoring; Job
Skills; Homework; Impact of Grades; Growth Mindset and Kindness.
Of course, we all prefer to continue having classroom
counseling lessons in person. Since we can’t due to the quarantines, we will
send social emotional lessons through the 5th Grade blog. Many will
be PowerPoints that will have videos embedded. In order to view the videos, you
will need to enable content.
While students are virtually learning, the
Davis School Counseling Department is still available to support our students
and their academic, social, and emotional needs. Mrs. Plomaritis and Ms.
Bernier will be available for immediate consultation through email during
virtual office hours Monday through Friday from 9:00-10:30. They will also be
answering emails and concerns received outside of virtual office hours within
24 hours (usually much sooner). If you find that your student/family is
struggling emotionally, academically or financially during this time please do
not hesitate to reach out to Ms. Bernier ( Kathy.bernier@cobbk12.org )
or Mrs. Plomaritis ( Alison.plomaritis@cobbk12.org ).
Many resources are included on our counseling website including information for
those in need of food, internet or additional services. You can find our
counseling website on the Davis website under counselors or at this link http://www.cobbk12.org/Davis/counselors.aspx.
Thank you and we hope to see you all soon!
