We Can Do This – TOGETHER

It sounds easier than it is to stay at home. Everyone is finding something to do and some are getting quite creative. If you have children at home you might be looking for unique activities, new ideas, or recycled activities. This has become the new focus of I AM My Best.

I will post one article a day providing activities to stimulate learning.I suppose going I am back to my roots because teaching is what I do best so I might as well use this gift for others. Not to mention my daughters (both teachers) are feeding me ideas. 

Libraries are closed. We are out of books. What are the options? Today’s focus is on reading. Avid readers probably already have a system in place to read on-line. However, many rely on the public library, bookstore, school. The list below provides book resources to old and young.

Newspapers Can Substitute as Textbooks. Today we will explore strategies to use the newspaper to engage kids in learning. This resource is available when self-isolating without risk; they can be delivered, purchased from a machine, and probably rummaged from a corner of the house. One paper can provide days of learning opportunities and the best part is it does not have to be current. 

Thinking Outside the Box – Day 6. Yesterday, a moving truck parked next door, unloaded cargo and three men unpacked boxes causing me to flash back in time. I loved boxes as a kid. As a mother, boxes are my go-to toy. Everyone remembers those Christmas and birthday presents that got discarded by children who chose to play with the box instead. So, yes, I did scream across the yard to request some boxes. Boxes, boxes everywhere. Grab a box or boxes and let kids go. Check out these ideas to provide inspiration.
