🎨"2021 Family Art Therapy Week 17" SHARING/COMPARTIR with Ms. Mandi, BSW🎨

“2021- FAMILY ART-THERAPY WEEK 17”

This week’s projects are going to be related to the Positive Action Word of the Week- SHARING

A sharing person is generous and willing to share. If you are sharing, you are

glad to give things to others. To share something is to use it or enjoy it with

others, like when people share a cake at a birthday party, or you let a

classmate use a pencil.

Your projects can be uploaded and emailed to me at: amanda.knepper@k12.wv.us OR amanda@morganpartnership.org

Please check the links on PositiveValuesNetwork.com for other art therapy projects and Positive Action videos.

Monday- Project: FAMILY GAME OF PICK-UP STICKS

Materials: Your family members and sticks that you gather and decorate (or the game Pick up Sticks). You can go outside with your family and gather some small twigs. Make sure that the sides are smooth, and they are as straight as possible. You can be creative and paint them if you like to make your own set. Once they dry completely, you can play! You can also choose to paint Q-tips and allow them to dry as shown in the picture below.

To incorporate the word SHARING this week for Positive Actions, we are going to be playing some family games that involve taking turns.

With your family, you will sit around a table or on the floor, if you would like. You will gather all the sticks in one hand and gently let them fall in a pile. You will choose who goes first, and that person will attempt to remove a stick without moving any of the rest of the sticks in the pile. If they are successful, they get to keep that stick. Then, the next person will go. You will repeat this until the pile is gone. Whoever has the most sticks at the end wins the game. This is a game your family can play over and over, and you are sharing your time as a family and taking turns as well. This game will also teach the lesson of patience because it takes lots of patience to wait your turn and to give someone else the time they need to take their turn.

Tuesday- Project: FAMILY HOP-SCOTCH
Materials: Today you will need your family members, different colors of sidewalk chalk,

and a blacktop/concrete to create your game to play.

You and your family will decide what kind of pattern, picture, and colors you would like to use. You may choose to draw it beforehand in case you want to make any changes. There are many ways to create a Hop-Scotch game and there are a few pictures attached below for ideas.

Once your family decides the pattern you want to create, you can use your chalk and make your game board.

Finally, each member will take turns hoping on the game board.

Think about this “Why is it Important to Take Turns with Others?” “What Happens if you Don’t?” “How do You Grow as a Person, When You Take Turns?” Talk about this with your family.

Wednesday- Project: FAMILY FUN WITH CREATIVITY: “KER-PLUNK”

Materials: Today you will need your family members, marbles or pom-poms, Choice of a bottle, colander, paper towel holder or toilet paper roll. You will also need sticks/skewers or straws or something to stick through to hold the marbles or pom-poms back. (These ideas are shown in the pictures below).

This activity is re-creating the Game “Ker-Plunk.”

Each member of the family will take a turn pulling a stick out, trying not to let the pom- poms or marbles fall through the container. You will repeat this process, each taking a turn, until the marbles or pom-poms fall through the holes. Whoever ends up with the most sticks, before the fall, wins.

Thursday- Project: FAMILY BOARD GAME NIGHT

Materials: You will need one dice (die), and then you will choose to either use an attached game board template or to create one with your family. If you choose to create your own, you will need heavy paper, things to color and draw with and your family members for ideas. Once you choose or create your template, you will decide what type of game you want to play: you can be creative and add candy to certain spaces, or things to win, you can add things like “go back 2 spaces,” “move forward 3 spaces.” Etc. Be creative with this and have fun with it! Each member will take turns rolling a die and moving their piece forward in the game. The winner is determined by who lands on END/FINISH first.

Friday- Project: FUNKY FAMILY SPOON PUPPETS
Materials: Plastic or wooden spoons, permanent marker, glue (hot glue gun would work

best for this, ribbon, yarn string, felt or material to use for clothes, and scissors.

As a family you will sit together and create the members of your family using the above- mentioned materials. You can even include your family pets, neighbors, close friends, or whoever is important to you. Once you have completed making each member, you can use them as puppets. Your family can write a play and act it out. Use your imagination with this activity and have fun with it as there are no limits.

SEND PROJECT PICTURES TO: amanda@morganpartnership.org 😊 OR Amanda.knepper@k12.wv.us

Please Access PositiveValuesNetwork.com for more links, videos, and art projects.

I hope you have a great weekend!! If you have a fun idea, please let me know so that I can incorporate them into another fun activity for your family!

Thank you for your participation, Ms. Mandi Knepper, MSW-intern

Each member takes a turn making a line to connect two dots. Whoever draws the last line to close a box will enter their first initial into that box. When finished, you will count the number of boxes you made (initials) and whoever has the most boxes wins!

MoTo Monday, Week 37, GOLDEN RULE w/Summer STEAM! BUBBLES

...where ALL students are UNIQUE and Wonderfully Made!

Welcome Morgan County FAMILIES to 
POSITIVE ACTIONS! 

The Morgan County Partnership is soooo pleased to provide our greater community with continued online Positive Actions programming with our regularly scheduled 
"Daily PAWsitive Actions Community Vlogcast"
for families to share Positive Actions together!  
Our Social and Emotional Wellness will be supported as we continue each day with positive 
THOUGHTS, ACTIONS, and FEELINGS!  
SO, LET'S GET STARTED!!!!

"YOU are the champions!"

Have you ever heard the Queen song, "We are the Champions?" Watch this moving video from guitarist Brian May illustrating the devotion all over the world from hospital workers, those caring for others health, and practicing The Golden Rule! This week, you'll see how YOU are a champion too!  How?  When you do positive actions and treat others the way YOU want to be treated! Just like our heroes at hospitals like Valley Health out there caring for the health of our community! How PAWsome that our Positive Word of the Week 36, for May 11-15, 2020, is


GOLDEN RULE!
 How can we follow the Golden Rule while staying home and practicing social distancing?  We can send a video "thank you" to Valley Health workers, right here in our community!  Watch today's vlogcast for more info!

And, remember this: When you wash your hands often....that's love too!  And, "staying home" is also hard, we know; but, it is a Positive Action that helps everyone!  Social Distancing can, and will, stop the virus.

Mrs. Hott and Mrs. Sheima are SUPER excited to share Positive Actions with Morgan County students because today, and each Monday, is when we "motor-up" YOUR school week and get ready for more PAWsome days of learning and growing... 

"MOTO Monday!"    

or, "Motovation Monday" where we will see a vlog to get our week "motored-up" with positive thoughts, actions, and feelings!  
Today is May 18, 2020!  

Get ready to be inspired with a the band QUEEN singing "YOU are the Champions" then learn about "The Science of Bubbles" on  
"Summer STEAM"

That was PAWsome!  Are YOU ready to film a "Thank You Video"? Our community hospital, Valley Health, has positive employees caring for others and helping them get well.  They are treating others the way they want to be treated!  Let's follow the GOLDEN RULE like our hospital workers do, and say thanks! Then email your 10-15 sec video to: careers@valleyhealthlink.com

Our PAWsitive Action "word of the week" is: Golden Rule
And in Spanish:  Regla de Oro
Try to say "Regla de Oro"! 
(TRY THIS in Spanish, click here Golden Rule: , then click the speaker!)

For Positive Actions, we are learning about wonderful words that build our Social and Emotional Wellness to help us all get along (at home, school, and in the community), raise our student assets, build confidence, and improve our academics! 

For this week's programming schedule, we will learn more about POSITIVE character values that help us all to follow the GOLDEN RULE!  On the vlogcast this week, we will see some new friends;
