Unplugged Hours Without Power!

Some Unplugged Challenge fun! Been a while since my guitar has been strummed!

WOW! We're PAST 100 PAGES in our Kindness Quarantine book...see/add to it below!

**Follow directions 1-4 below for your Week 4 Library/Makerspace time:**

(Thanks to Blake and Nicky Cook for the "Bee" Kind tshirt in the video! If you would like one, see below...or, think of another way to spread kindness! If you need ideas, look at our digital Kindness book below!)

Blake, in 1st Grade from Ella Canavan, and Nicky Cook, his mom, make the awesome "Bee" Kind shirt that I am wearing this week! Reached out to order one after finding out about what they do! Blake donates to help those in need in Medina.

Blake would love to make more shirts to feed more kids. Sizes are Adult Unisex Cotton T-shirt sizes S, M, L, XL, and they have a few 2XL also. Children's sizes S, M, L, and XL. Cost of each shirt is $15.

If you'd like to order a "Bee" Kind shirt, you can email Nicky Cook at zenicky98@gmail.com.

3. Charlie McButton UNPLUGGED CHALLENGE:

- Unplug from tech! Play inside or outside in a fun, kind way! Many fun ideas in our read aloud, or make your own fun ideas, or make time for a nature walk & find something outside that's just blooming or crawling, or read a real book or make your own, or write a poem, or fly your kite, or plant a seed, or...! (With parent permission, if needed!)

- When you do go back to being plugged in, you're welcome to visit the Poetry & Reading tab on this site for NEW, fun, free, popular eBooks and Poetry sites!!

4. SHARE: If you'd like to share what you did during your Unplugged time, we'd love to see/hear about anything and everything!!! Email OR reply in your Encore Library/Makerspace Google Classroom, if that's what your school is using, to send pictures and/or videos, or just write! Whatever is best for you.

*You are always welcome to send previous weeks' projects. Scroll down.*

Keep reading, writing, experimenting, and creating!
