How can you use these task cards?

• Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet or discuss and use the Google Slides as a class.

• Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.

• Ideally the goal is to do one challenge a day, but you could certainly allow students to do more than one.

**********************************************************

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but also that force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when building these challenges.

Most building challenge task cards are independent from each other. “Build a boat,” or “build an airplane,” are common themes among the cards. While those are fantastic, and we have done many of them ourselves, I wanted to do something different and more cohesive and engaging for kids.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**

**This is not an editable document.**

During the COVID pandemic, students across the world transitioned to online learning. Online learning has been a difficult experience for them, and this struggle has affected them in many ways – academically, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Switching from traditional classroom and face to face learning to computer-based learning in a virtual classroom makes the learning experience entirely different for students. For many, the abrupt transition to a new learning format has left them with questions and concerns, a lack of motivation, stress, anxiety, and discouragement – experiences that can (or have) ultimately affected their academic performance and sense of well-being.

This highly relevant resource features 40 Remote Learning Challenges Scenarios that students (and teachers) experience on a daily basis since the transition to online learning!

• Manage their emotions in difficult situations and when under pressure
• Navigate difficult situations
• Effectively communicate with others
• Practice perspective-taking
• Develop empathy for others who experience the same challenges (or worse)

************************************************************************************************************
The topics featured in these scenarios include:

• Adaptability Struggle
• Lack of Motivation

• Lack of Interaction with Teachers and Peers

When do you have a moment to include mindfulness in your day?

All you need is a few minutes.

Mindfulness every day gives you the wonderful benefits of feeling calm and present. We can gain more control over our emotions and decision-making. Mindfulness can help us to appreciate each of life’s small moments, too.

Use our Mindful Moments cards to teach the children in your life how to manage their emotions and be present. Give them the tools to develop their own mindfulness practice and form lifelong healthy habits.

Blended with breathing, light movement, reflection, and gratitude, these cards empower little ones to become calm, confident and relaxed.

Mindfulness can help children:

• Get in touch with their inner thoughts and feelings
• Improve focus, concentration and decision-making skills
• Boost confidence and overall well-being
• Lower stress and anxiety in this busy world

Discover the benefits of mindfulness at an early age. Research shows that mindfulness at an early age can improve executive functions in their brain like cognitive control, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and better grades.

Fry's second 100 sight words - Fly swatter high frequency sight words game

A fun game to play with students that help them practice reading and learn their high frequency sight words! This game would be perfect to use in a literacy center, ELA center, individual practice or for small groups to play. Whether it is back to school or a activity to play during indoor recess game will help them with their high frequency(HF) sight words.

This set contains the second 100 Fry's High Frequency Words!

It contains all the words in two different sizes:

6x Per page (Normal size)

1x Per page (Jumbo size)

Cut out each of the shapes that have words on them, laminate the pages and then place velcro on the words and the swatter. A word is called out and the first student to "swat" the word gets to keep it. The player who has the most words at the end of the game is the winner! Once you have the game made it is a no prep activity for your students to enjoy.

I have also included some extra images for you to cut out, laminate and place
over/attach to the fly swatter so you can have more options! You can also attach these to paint sticks instead of using a fly swatter.
