Review & reflect on our habits of work.
Perseverance: these days at home are challenging- but don't stop trying! Reach out if you need help!
Integrity: making good choices is oftentimes difficult when establishing and settling into new routines- but I know you can do it!
Responsibility: taking care of the important things and being accountable- especially difficult when we are away, but find ways that work for you and help you to be responsible.
Respect: This can be tough, because now you might have brothers and sisters and other family members that have needs and "sharing" time and computers and adults is hard!
Try to get outside, despite the cool temperatures. Take a moment to be an observer. Observe and enjoy the sights and sounds- what do you notice? Think about ways that you can protect and conserve natural resources today!

Create a short video, picture, painting, sidewalk chalk creation, letters or cards of appreciation that thank our heroes for all that they are doing during this crisis. Maybe you want to thank a family member that works in the healthcare field, a first responder, more specifically a firefighter or police officer. Think about our cafeteria & maintenance staff, and people working in grocery stores or gas stations, or any community helper serving right now, being brave and keeping us safe and cared for. They are all helpers. If you spend time creating videos, pictures, paintings, sidewalk chalk creations, letters or cards of appreciation please send pictures and videos of these to kauffmanj@tapestryschool.org by Wednesday at 3:00pm and we will make sure to include you in our community-wide shared video!
Think about a plan for how you will either celebrate or contribute to Better World Day tomorrow! Maybe it will be through a kindness rock, supporting our front line working heroes, planting a flower in your yard, making cards for special people in your life, turning the water off as you brush your teeth (water conservation!), or will you teach your very own crew at home and spread the message of PIRR, kindness and giving back to our community?
Take action in your community to make today a Better World for all of us!
