Hey Room 212!
Thank you to all of those students who called into Zoom at 11:00am to participate in our Virtual Chat. I loved seeing all of your faces, your siblings, parents, and even pets!!! We will be doing another chat next week so make sure to stay tuned!
Now in our chat, we were talking about ways to “Sharpen your Saw” when you are at home. Here are some of my favorite things to do right now:
- Learn to draw Disney Characters- Visit the Disney site below to see how to draw some of your favorite characters like Mickey Mouse, Baymax, Stitch, Goofy, and many others!
2. Listen to Story Time from Space- Real life astronauts reading to you some of their favorite picture books. They are all in space right now so it is super AWESOME!

6. This is my personal favorite!!!! Make sure to check them out- Take a Home Safari with the Cincinnati Zoo. Every weekday at 3 p.m. ET. they will post a new episode. Each episode will feature a different animal and an accompanying educational kids activity that can be done from home.
Here are some amazing bonus activities that you may enjoy as well!
