Use any medium (paper, window chalk, wood, paint, etc)
Level 1: put up heart/s on your house
Level 2: put up hearts in a creative way (see picture for example)
Extension: Go for a walk around your neighbourhood (remember to self-distance) and count the hearts. How many can you find?

Share Your Favourite Music!
Music is all about connecting people together. Regardless of musical tastes, people can form strong connections through sharing their favourite music with each other.
Above is a YouTube clip of one of my favourite performers, John Mayer. I love this particular clip because it always reminds me of a very happy time in my life.
This week’s challenge: on YouTube, find a clip of your favourite artist or tune and share it with someone (family, friends, or a teacher)! Then, tell that person why it’s your favourite. Maybe that person has a clip of their own to share?
Your clip should be a live performance, and it should be school appropriate.
