Join us here each week. We will provide activities for all ages, with online activities and some things to do on your own. It’s winter, we’re having a pandemic, and there should be a lot of staying at home. But that doesn’t mean being bored! Dive in here, and let’s do some fun things!
Virtual Travel
This week we are admiring the seven wonders of the world! Learning about new things, seeing new places, meeting new people – it’s the way to live our best lives! So let’s explore some wonderful things this week.
- The Great Wall of China, 221 BC
- Machu Pichu, 1400s
- The Colosseum, 70-80AD
- Christ the Redeemer, 1922 – 1930
- Taj Mahal, 1632 – 53AD
- Petra, 3rd century BC
- Chichen Itza, 5th century AD
Let’s Move
When we are all home, it’s easy to sit around and relax into watching Netflix or read all those library books on your TBR list. That stuff is good too – but let’s take a few minutes to get up, to bounce around, and to get some blood flowing! Join P.E. With Joe to have fun today!!
STEM Project: Build a Paper Roller Coaster
Get all the info here: “Have you ever ridden a roller coaster? Have you ever wanted to design your own? There are plenty of expensive toys and even video games that will let you build your own coasters—but in this project you’ll make one out of paper and tape, and learn about roller coaster physics along the way!”
Academic Fun
Check out another good lesson from Common Sense Education! “Learn how your private info can end up online, whether you intended it to or not.”
Arts and Crafts: Raised Salt Painted Rainbow Snowflakes
“Raised Salt Painted Rainbow Snowflakes: Part art, part experiment, this easy Winter craft is a fun and engaging way to combine art and science.
