Virtual Overload, Screen Time Over
If you are searching for the virtual links go down to the bottom of this page and click on "Older Posts"
or go to the right side and click on the label "coronavirus"
Okay now for all the non-virtual things. There are a lot of choice boards on here. **My suggestion is starting with one board at a time and marking off the activity as you go.
Neighborhood Cheer
My friend Mrs. Arnold sent this, her neighborhood is cheering each other with a Chalk Walk!
Our neighborhood is participating in this one. We have our three rainbows up, hoping to spread cheer when they walk by! 🌈🌈🌈
"Rolling Field Trips"
We are still able to drive around and about so I loaded up the Wirthkateers and my mom "Nanny Pants" and we drove to the countryside with our windows up. It was a way to look at the land, animals, and to see anything besides the walls in our house!
Scavenger Hunts
My favorites start simply with Scavenger Hunts, although my Wirthkateers have a horrible time putting things back where they go. 😲
Our friends at Buggy and Buddy have printable scavenger hunts too! (click the pic)

Kitchen Ideas
(from Denver Post)
- Place a whole egg in a clear glass filled with vinegar. At each morning meal, make observations about its deterioration and what they see or don’t see.
- Dissect apples, pears, kiwis, bananas, and strawberries and discuss the different parts of the fruit, then serve the victims for lunch.
- Make a cake and play with food coloring in the batter and frosting.
- String cereal to practice math, and if you have Jell-O, make rainbow layers and turn it into a whole science talk on prisms, water, and light refraction.
