🎨"2021 Family Art Therapy Week 14" EMPATY/EMPATÍA with Ms. Mandi, BSW🎨

“2021- FAMILY ART-THERAPY WEEK 14”

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

Is the ability to understand and share the feelings of

another person.

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 EMPATHY X-RAY

Today your family will be making an X-ray of what your feelings look like on the inside when you do something negative to someone else then compare it to when you are empathetic and kind to that same person. How do you apologize when you have hurt someone’s feelings? How do you make things right with that person again?

Materials your family will need: Each member of your family will need a large piece of white paper, something to color/draw with and each other to brainstorm ideas.

Please hold a conversation with your family to discuss why it is so important to be EMPATHETIC to other people’s feelings. How does it make you feel when people do not treat you kindly? Then talk about how you feel when people are kind to you and how it makes you feel on the inside when you are kind to others.

Important Take Away Message: “Treat Others How You Wish to be Treated”

Tuesday- Project: FAMILY EMPATHY BRACELET
Today your family will be using pipe cleaners and a variety of beads to create an

EMPATHY bracelet.

Materials you will need: Pipe cleaners, beads of different colors and kids, paper and something to write with and your family to brainstorm with.

Arrange your beads by color, size, shape or however your family would like to separate them. Choose what each color represents to your family. Make a chart as shown below to describe what they mean and why they are important to your family to include on your bracelet. For example: why is it important to be “happy, brave, strong, kind, empathetic etc.?” You can make your list as long as you would like. Once you have created your list, add your beads to your bracelet, one at a time. You can choose to add a few or fill the entire pipe cleaner or to use a few, while leaving some of the pipe cleaner exposed. Lastly, when you have your bracelet completed, choose a special person to give it to. What was their reaction? Why do you think they had this reaction? Discuss how it made you feel to gift something you made to your special person and how their reaction made you feel.

Wednesday- Project: EMPATHY SHOES

Today with our families we are going to think about how we would feel to be in someone else’s shoes. How would you feel if you were that person? How would your day be? How would your schedule change? What grades would you have in school? Who would be your friends? Where would you live and how would you live?

Materials needed for this activity: Paper (or print the template attached), markers, crayons, colored pencils and something to write with.

Always show EMPATHY and kindness when interacting with someone. Some people are more fortunate than others and some are very unfortunate. These facts should never be a reason for treating someone differently than how you would want to be treated. Talk to your family about what you are grateful for.

Cut out the shoe template below (you can choose one or draw your own.) You are going to think about a person in your life and put yourself in their shoes. This means you will think about how your life would be, to be that person. You will write on your shoe “I can put myself in someone else’s shoe when _______” and fill in the blank. Each member of your family should do this. This activity should be eye-opening and help you to understand and appreciate what you have. Talk with your family about what you chose to write on your shoes. It should also make you more mindful, helpful and kind to others.

Thursday- Project: EMPATHETIC THOUGHTS and SELF ESTEEM BOOSTERS!!! Today we are going to be making a family poster that will boost each other’s self-esteem by

being empathetic.

Materials you will need: A large piece of white paper, some paint and markers or colored pencils.

Your family will brainstorm to come up with a positive title that will go in the center of your paper. Then your family members will each paint the palm of one hand and place it onto the paper making a handprint. (Note: Leave some space between each hand so comments can be added by other members of the family). Once you allow the handprint to dry, each member of your family will use colored pencils or markers to write positive words or phrases, that describe that person, next to each handprint.

Lastly, you will read the comments together. How did it make you feel to read and see the positive comments your family members wrote to you?

You can display your poster in your home as a reminder that you love and care for one another, even on hard and difficult days.

Friday- Project: UPLIFTING PAINTED ROCKS!
Today we will be painting rocks to place around your home and community. When

someone finds them with your uplifting messages, it will brighten their day!

Your family will take a nature walk to find small, smooth rocks, wash them and allow them to completely dry.

Once they are dry, you will need a clean surface, an old towel or something to lay the rocks on while you paint them, paints of different colors, and small paint brushes. Each member of your family should have a few rocks to decorate and access to the materials.

On each rock, you will think of an uplifting message and picture to paint.

When your rocks are completed and dry, your family can go together in your community and place them around for others to find.

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

MoTo Monday, Week 34, EMPATHY, Summer STEAM Day

...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, especially now, continue each day with positive 
THOUGHTS, ACTIONS, and FEELINGS!  
SO, LET'S GET STARTED!!!!

More than ever these days, we can change the world with EMPATHY!  How PAWsome that our regularly scheduled Positive Word of the Week 34, for April 27-May1, 2020, is
EMPATHY!
By now, maybe you are also overwhelmed with all the scary news out there and it may seem hard to find Some Good News
and really feel empathy as we are all staying at home.  This week, let's try to understand that there are many in our community on the front lines from hospitals to grocery stores, and if we put ourself in their shoes during the pandemic, imagine how scared they are just doing their jobs every day.  Showing empathy for others is a Positive Action!  So remember this: When you wash your hands often....that's empathy too!  And, "staying home" is also hard, we know; but, it is a Positive Action that helps us show empathy for others so we all can be healthy!  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 April 27, 2020!  

Get ready to be inspired with a special guest from the Morgan County Partnership, Summer Goller hosting 
"Summer STEAM......watch this! 

That was PAWsome!  Thanks Summer....remember, if YOU get a school lunch for the week, Summer has some supplies for YOU!

Social & Emotional Wellness! 

Maybe you've been hearing the word "social distancing" lately?  That means for our physical health, we need to be staying home for a while.  However, if we remember toTHINK positive, we CAN be social remotely with digital media, or #AloneTogether, right?  So, keep reading our Daily PAWsitive Actions Community Vlogcast and Mrs. Hott and Mrs. Sheima will be here with you!  

For mom & dad: "Social-Emotional Wellness. Emotional wellness, social skills, and life skills are important tools for children to develop. They affect how children view themselves, interact with others, evaluate challenges, and explore choices. This includes handling stress, negative feelings, and difficult situations positively." 

 In order to help our emotions be healthy and well, we will be talking about a PAWsome word this week, empathy!

Our PAWsitive Action "word of the week" is: empathy
And in Spanish:  empatia
Try to say "empatia"! 
(TRY THIS in Spanish, click here: empatia, then click the speaker!  Watch here:  Say Empatia!) 

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! 

The word "empathy" means "the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. " 

For 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; 
MoTo Mon.**Summer STEAM for a pawsome chalk activity; 
Talkin' Tue.**Brain Talk with Becca and Mandi; 
Value Vlog Ved.**PAWsome Parents with Ms. Nikki, our 
Assets Thurs. **MC After 3 Kid Counselors STOP, 
Fun Friday**PAWsome PrinciPALS** w/Mr. CABLE! 
Plus tomorrow is **National Pay It Forward Day!  When we wash our hands, we "pay it forward" to help others stay healthy!

**NEW THIS WEEK**

Do you know a caregiver who may be struggling?  Please share....NEW! Starting April 30th, Thursdays at 1:00, Ms Nikki will host a Parent Playdate Zoom Room for caregivers to gather and well, just chat and relax.  We're all in this #AloneTogether!  Email nccowles1@yahoo.com for Zoom link:

Positive Actions appear in our schools this year and begins today on a journey together to discover that starting with positive thoughts, we can choose positive actions, and help us to gain positive feelings!  Take a look at our logo:

EMPATHY - Value Video "V"ednesday

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

Today is VALUE VIDEO "V"EDNESDAY!  

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, April 11th!  On Wednesdays, we will be examining Value Video Vednesdays when we will take a look at positive values to help us grow into a caring cougar community of students at Warm Springs Intermediate School.  

Today's video takes a look at a students who are positive when they use EMPATHY.  When we recognize and encourage EMPATHY in our community, we are making positive choices to become students with good moral and ethical qualities, helping us to achieve personal excellence.  And, we also have positive feelings when we share EMPATHY....just like LOU in today's vlogcast!

Watch today's VALUE VIDEO VEDNESDAY, and talk about who illustrates EMPATHY:

Let's talk about it.  Were you surprised?  Why?

Discuss who showed a Positive Thought?

Who shows a Positive Action?

What is the Positive Feeling you have when you see this video?

Now, think of a person who you know that has EMPATHY for others. What did he/she do? 

Today, Mrs. Hott wants you to do a Positive Action too!  Try it!

WSIS Students who show EMPATHY
can change the world!
