Hello!

You are going to do something BIG this year. You are going to play.

Every week with your class you will do five things. Some are loud. Some are quiet. Some will make you giggle. That is all part of it.

We made this just for you. We hope you LOVE it.

§2

The five things you will do every week

Same shape every week, different game:

  • 👀 Watch a video together.
  • 🏃 Play a game with everyone.
  • ✏️ Do a quiet game with a pencil or your voice.
  • 💃 Move your body and shake out the wiggles.
  • 🙏 Say what made you happy.
§3

Our class rules

Just three.

  • Try.
  • Be kind.
  • Have fun.
§4

When it feels hard

Sometimes a game feels too easy. Sometimes a game feels too hard. Both are okay.

If something feels TOO hard, tell your teacher. There is a way to make every game work for you. If you feel grumpy, that is okay too. The week will still be there tomorrow.

Now you're ready

Your first week is waiting.
