Activity/Task #1: Bitmoji Avatar Description of Activity or Task:

Since we weren’t able to take a class photo on the steps of our school, we will be creating a class photo with Bitmoji avatars! Have an adult help you create a Bitmoji avatar of yourself. Make sure that it is a realistic avatar and looks as much like you as possible. Download the Bitmoji app on a Smartphone or iPad/tablet then start creating. Once you have finished creating your avatar, choose a photo where the avatar is standing straight and facing the camera (type the word “photo” in the search bar). Send the photo to Mrs. Prangnell & Ms. Webb through email so we can add you to our Kindergarten class photo.

Activity/Task #3: Say Something! Description of Activity or Task: We have done a wonderful job of being friends of the earth by loving and caring for nature. There is another way that we can use our voice to share our love for the world: say something! If you see something happening that is unkind, say something! If you have a good idea, say something! For today’s read aloud, we are going to be reading with the author of the book Say Something! His name is Peter H. Reynolds. He had an idea for how kids could help to make the world into a happier place, and he put his ideas into a book. How cool is that? Follow along with the read-aloud of Say Something by Peter H. Reynolds.

Discuss the following questions:

• How can we say something to help or be kind to others? • How can we say something small that will change the world,

one little bit at a time? • What is something you can do or say to make the world a

better place? You can share your idea however you prefer. You can draw a picture of you, make a sign, take a picture of yourself, etc. Use your best “kid writing” to write a word(s) to go with your idea.
