WEEKLY ART ENRICHMENT

Recreate Materpieces
Welcome back! I know coming back after a break is difficult, so let's have
fun this week! Remember when we learned about masterpieces? Well, a
museum has asked people at home to recreate famous masterpieces using
things you can find in your home. Some of these masterpieces, I'm sure you
will recognize! Have fun with your recreations! Also, if you remember the
engineering process, then you can remember the creative process- before
creating something you need to brainstorm some ideas, and then come up
with your plan. Part of your plan is to figure out what materials you'll use to
recreate the artwork. I'm so excited to see your masterpieces!! Here is the
link to several examples: https://www.sadanduseless.com/recreated-art/

WEEKLY STEM ENRICHMENT

Plastic Bag Challenge
Plastic bags are one of the biggest culprits of environmental pollution.
These bags can end up in the rivers and oceans where animals mistake
them for fish or jellies. Eating plastic can cause all sorts of health issues for
these animals. This week's challenge will be to turn plastic grocery bags
into a reusable bag that you can take to the store with you instead of using
more plastic. This project will help reduce the amount of plastic you use
and reuse this plastic by recycling it into something new! More details on
how to create and weave plastic yarn, or plarn, can be found on Mr. Hanft’s
blog.

WEEKLY LIBRARY ENRICHMENT

Using Presentation Tools
Choose a presentation tool and create a presentation sharing what you did
on your Spring Break or about a topic you are learning from home. There are
many presentation tools to choose from. Adobe Spark and BrainPop's Make a
Movie are located in Cobb Digital Library. Or you can use Sway through
Microsoft Office.

Activities for the week of April 13-17

WEEKLY COUNSELING ENRICHMENT

Stories to Help Cope
Coping with the unexpected is part of life. Learning to deal with
disappointments in a positive way is very beneficial. This is a good time to
practice learning how to do so. All of us are in this together. We can lean on
each other and help others where we can. There are many breathing
exercises to help you relax and creative ways to express yourself. Reach out
and let others know how you feel. There are some good stories that can help
you with this challenge. Here are a couple for you:
