PHYSICAL EDUCATION-week of May 25- Pick any two days to do the following activities

Warm-up- Continue to do the stretching exercises and warm-up exercises that you are accustomed to do in the beginning of the phys.ed period.
Cardio- Continue with the heart and lung activities that we been outlined in the previous lesson plans. For variety sake, this week choose a cardio activity that you have "not" done in the previous two weeks. Again you can bbn either do walk/jog, jump rope, or sprints.
Activities- This week we will work on activities that concentrate on eye/hand accuracy and eye foot accuracy.
Eye/Hand Accuracy
1)Lay a hula hoop on the ground or draw a circle with chalk on the cement. Standing with the hoop/circle in front of you, toss a beanbag or some similar object into the circle. Everytime the beanbag/object lands inside the circle , take one step backwards.  Continue as long as  you are able to reach the hoop/circle.
a) Same as above but try it with your non non-dominant hand
Eye/Foot Accuracy
1) Using the same hoop or chalk circle as above, lay a beanbag on the laces of your sneakers. Again standing with the hoop/circle in front of you, flip the beanbag off you foot into the circle. Everytime the beanbag goes onto the hoop/circle,  take one step backwards. Continue as long as you can reach the hoop/circle.
a) Same as above but try it on your nondominant foot .

Have a good week. 😊

VIRTUAL YEARBOOK SIGNING

**ELEMENTARY ONLY: Grades PK - 4**
DO NOT USE THIS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL ********************************************************************

Help your child celebrate this school year with a virtual yearbook signing, a special time when your child marks the end of another year and reminds their friends how special they are to them with handwritten notes in their yearbooks. This would have been extra special since it's our first year with the books!

Our yearbook company, Walsworth, has partnered with Kudoboard™ to make virtual yearbook signing possible! Kudoboard lets your child make online boards that their friends can sign with messages, photos and gifs. (You can text, email or share the board link with their friends. I am hoping to set up Grade Level postings on the Mullica Twp Parents facebook page so you can see other children's boards and sign them.)

When they’re done, they can save their board as a hi-res JPEG to keep digitally or print and place inside their yearbook.

Check out the attached Virtual Yearbook Signing How To PDF and head over to kudoboards.com/walsworth (Elementary School Only!) to get started today. Make sure to enter promo code Walsworth2020 for special pricing. (Free boards can hold 10 entries; $3.89 gets you 100 entries and $9.99 is for unlimited entries plus a slideshow - but you must use the promo code! I was able to pay the $3.89 and then I decided to upgrade further from there - and I paid $4 more, so that's another option. $7.89 for the top level.) If you're getting a free board, I don't recommend sharing the link widely since it can only hold 10 entries. Share directly to the 10 people you'd like to sign your board.

Thank you to the parents who helped me test this last night! <3

Also, I have a VERY LIMITED supply of Elementary Yearbooks. If you want to purchase the Elementary Yearbook ($20), contact me to see if there are any remaining: jlugg@mullicaschools.com

Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Ms. Lugg

Hello to all of our wonderful Mullica Parents and Guardians,
There have been some questions as to what is expected from our primary students when it comes to completion of work for their Special Area Classes. First, let us start by thanking you for all that you are doing!!! We are not looking to over work our students during this trying time, instead, we want to keep them engaged. Special area classes are meant to build the Whole, Healthy, Well-Rounded Student. This is why we are trying to put out activities and assignments that are fun and a little less demanding for families to do with limited resources. We believe in our students and their families, and we know that you will do your best to have your children working to their best ability and completing what work they can.
Physical Education can include your child’s outside play time, which can be as often as possible. For STEM, Spanish, Art, Health, Music, and Financial Literacy, please pick a 30-45min block each day and have your children work on 1-2 special area's activities. During a “normal” school week, each special area subject sees the students only once, as we teach every child in the school from grades PreK-8th. We don’t expect the parents or the students to do more than they would have in school. That being said, if you or your children ever need anything from any of us, including help with assignments, additional work, or even if your child wants to just reach out and say “hello,” please do not hesitate to contact us!
Thanks,
Your Special Area Teachers

Don't forget to check here for updates each week.

Good morning,

I hope you are staying healthy and safe.

I want to share a few resources with you. Just as a reminder, these resources are supplemental and can be used when needed or if time allows.

'Brain Breaks'- brain breaks are quick 5-10 minute activities that give children the opportunity to take a break from what they're doing (such as school work) to give their brain a break to come back to their work feeling refocused and ready to get back on track. https://noteworthyparenting.com/blog/2020/0s5ar8vjyvdt1xp8oqfbny1zpioxg1?fbclid=IwAR0kAvq9YQatd1N4yuUqG5jTMoLd1qYkrsiNcYhiNh8ecF3h883QHTcjdXE

Homemade Sidewalk Chalk Paint-  Not only can this activity be relaxing for children, but they can then use the chalk/paint to draw how they are feeling on the sidewalk. https://www.thesuburbanmom.com/2012/07/12/homemade-sidewalk-chalk-paint-way-fun/

Relaxation Activities to do at Home with Kids- Here you can find several breathing / stretching exercises that children (and families) can use to relieve stress and relax.

Here is something called the reverse Tie-Dye. This will require some ADULT HELP make sure you are supervised when doing this. Click the link and follow the directions. Have fun and be safe.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Introduction: Reverse Tie-Dye

Are you tired of wearing the typical solid colored shirts? Regular tie-dye can take hours, is extremely messy, and dyes have potential to stain you and your surroundings. To add a little variation to your life try reverse tie-dye! It only takes approximately 25 minutes and requires everyday household items including bleach, rubber bands, and any dark colored shirt.

Supplies Needed:

Dark Colored Shirt (black, navy blue, brown, and maroon work best)

Bleach: 2 cups per shirt (any brand works)

Rubber Bands (preferably non-colored)

Scissors

Rinsing station

Pouring Device (measuring cups work best)

Tongs (Optional)

Detergent (Optional)

Dryer (Optional)

CAUTION:

1. Because bleach is involved dress accordingly (old clothing)
Bleach may splatter in various directions in steps 4 and 5; make sure to be aware of this.

2. Make sure it stays away from your eyes and any open wounds.

3. It's a good idea to open a window or turn on a fan in order to ventilate the area from bleach fumes.

Step 1: Getting Started

Gather all of your materials and lay shirt out on a flat surface.

1 Person Made This Project!

Recommendations

First Time Author Contest

Leather Challenge

Space Challenge

Step 2: Sectioning Your Shirt

Bunch shirt into multiple sections. Tie the rubber bands around these sections tightly.

We divided them into about ten sections and twisted the rubber band around about six times. You can divide them into more sections that are smaller in order to create a more intricate pattern.

Step 3: Preparing for Bleach

Take your tied shirt to the rinsing station and pour approximately two cups of bleach in pouring device.

We used a sink, but you could do this outside or in a bathtub. We encourage using a pouring device with a spout in order to limit and direct the flow of bleach onto the t-shirt.

Step 4: Adding Bleach

Pour the bleach directly on the rubber bands and let it soak into the shirt for about 10 to 15 seconds. Pour the excess bleach all over the shirt. Wait about 20 seconds for the rest of the bleach to saturate the shirt

Make sure you remember to get both sides of the shirt.

Step 5: Taking Off Rubber Bands

Carefully use the scissors to cut the rubber bands in order to unfasten the bunched sections on your shirt.

If you are using a rinsing station with a drain, make sure to clear the rubber bands from the drain in order to prevent plumbing problems.

Step 6: Rinsing Bleach

Thoroughly rinse the bleach from the shirt with warm water. You will notice orange tinted water coming from the shirt. Rinse until water is clear again.

Step 7: Washing Shirt

Carefully pour (approximately) half a cup of detergent onto the shirt in the rinsing station. Work in the detergent through out the shirt.

Upon rinsing the detergent out with warm water, you will notice the same orange tinted water-- as seen in step 6-- coming from the shirt; continue rinsing until water is clear again and wring out excess water. This will help set in the colors so they don't bleed out in future washes.
*This step is very important. If not completed excess bleach will disperse to other clothing in future washes.

Step 8: Final Product

After wringing out your shirt, put it in the dryer. Although this isn't necessary it is helpful if you're eager to wear your shirt. You can also it leave out to let it air dry.

After you have decided your drying method, make sure you clean up your work area and wipe surfaces to get rid of any excess bleach.

Wash your hands to avoid any chemical interactions from the bleach.

Cheers, you're done! Go and show off your new freshly dyed unique piece of clothing that no one else will have! .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... Actually, this is for you, right now!

It is a time of great opportunity to challenge kids to think critically and teach them the skills required for their future careers! STEM activities are interdisciplinary and project based which makes them exceptionally easy to include in holiday festivities. May the 4th (Star Wars Day) is no exception! Whether you are a Star Wars fan or not, the following activities are an exciting way to enhance STEM concepts and tie in the movies that have traversed the generations. May the 4th be with you!

In Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, we were introduced to the beloved fathier creatures that are also known as "space horses". These large animals were raced as a sport and we are told they could achieve speeds of up to 75 kilometers per hour (46.6 mph). Create one of these noble beasts and discuss forces and motion too! No, not THE force. Discuss tension force that allows you to work a marionette and make it do what you intend it to do. Draw a free body diagram of all of the forces acting on your puppet and if one part has more freedom to move than you wish, design a way to fix it. Here is how to make your own fathier marionette:
You will need:
Directions:

1. Wrap the cardboard tube in felt. Hot glue it on and cut off any excess.

2. Glue short lengths of beaded necklace or string to the inside of the cardboard tube in 5 places that will connect to the head and feet.

3. Glue a rounded triangle piece of felt onto a large pom pom to make the ears and head.

4. Cut a tear-drop shape of felt to make the nose and mouth. Draw the mouth and nostrils on the felt teardrop then glue it onto the pom pom to make the face.

5. Glue the googly eyes in place and glue the head onto the "neck" piece of string or necklace.

6. Glue pom poms onto each of the four leg strings.

7. Glue on a short piece of pipecleaner for the tail.

8. Line up a craft stick with the toilet paper tube such that it is even with the back end of the fathier cardboard tube. Glue another craft stick on top even with the back end of the fathier and perpendicular to the first craft stick.

9. Glue the 3rd craft stick onto the first one even with the head end of the cardboard tube.

10. Suspend your craft sticks off the edge of a table or counter with one of the ends of both the 2nd and 3rd craft sticks under something heavy so it wont fall off.

11. Tie strings around the middle of the 1st craft stick, above the head at the end of the 1st craft stick, and at both ends of the 2nd and 3rd craft sticks - you will have to flip the sides of the sticks that are under the heavy object to add all of the strings.

12. Make the strings longer than you think they are needed. Hot glue the head, body, and four legs onto the 6 strings so that the head is elevated above the body, the body is level, and all four legs are hanging completely straight. Now make your fathier walk!

Make a greeting card with a light saber that really lights up! We use this activity during our STEM Family Nights too! Paper circuits are a fun way to teach circuits and conductivity. Students use the easy-to-follow diagrams to create their own card that will light up! Materials needed include: paper, copper tape, LED lights, coin batteries, and clear tape. Students can also use markers or crayons to decorate the card. We created a freebie with activity instructions including 2 card templates in both English and Spanish. Check it out in our Vivify Resources page. You will need to sign up for our newsletter to get the password to access this free resource and our growing list of other free material.

Stop Motion Animation is a great fusion of technology, critical thinking, and STEM themes. Set up a scene and use your own drawings, Legos, or Star Wars figurines to act out your favorite movie scenes or your own version of the saga. To create the videos, use iPads, Kindles, or Chromebooks along with a blank backdrop such as trifold boards. We love using Stikbots to do stop motion animation. The app is free and you can use their positionable figures to move in vivid backgrounds that include multiple space scenes. For a freebie of instructions to use stop motion animation in your classroom or for a STEM Family Night plus 3 STEM story lines, head to our Vivify Resources page.

Grab a shoebox, paperclips, and two strong magnets and you have the beginnings of an epic battle. Discuss how magnets work and demonstrate the invisible magnetic force a magnet has on an object even when they cannot touch. To build this magnetic space ship battle:

1. Take a shoebox or small box turned on its side.

2. Cover the inside with black paper and add star stickers if desired.

3. Tie a string to a paperclip and tape the end of the string to the floor side inside the box such that the paperclip cannot quite reach the opposite side (top) of the inside of the box.

4. Do this again, spreading the strings about 1/3 the width of the box apart.

5. Make sure the magnet is strong enough to hold the paperclip in the air when placed on top of the box above the paperclip.

6. Attach paper spaceships to each paperclip.

7. Now compete by sliding the spaceships towards each other. The first spaceship to drop by either going beyond the reach of their magnet or by being knocked down by the opposing ship loses! Just so you know, my Millennium Falcon won every time! ;)

If you have followed us for a while, you know that we love Sphero robots! The variety of capabilities and difficulty levels makes these robots a perfect fit for the widest range of ages we have seen in a robot toy. There is even a compilation of free educational activities to use the Sphero robots in the classroom or at home to practice programming using the Sphero Edu App! The Sphero R2-D2 robot has all of the programming capabilities of the other bots in the Sphero line and more! The "Watch With Me" app allows you to watch any of the Star Wars films with the R2-D2 robot in the room and it will react to events in the movie with animations and sounds! While this is just an added perk to having a Star Wars themed robot, the educational applications are just as robust as the other Sphero bots. To read our list of activities to do with Sphero robots, check out our blog post here. Or for our review of the Sphero Bolt robot, go here. We also have a freebie Sphero robot activity located in our Vivify Resources page.

The irresistibly adorable porgs are probably my favorite Star Wars creature. No one can resist those huge innocent looking eyes. What if you hear that they are endangered and if you cannot help them protect their eggs, they will cease to exist? We are setting the stage to walk through the engineering design process with my students using the Bird Nest Challenge. In this challenge students must design and build a nest to safely catch a falling egg. A follow-up activity teaches biomimicry by relating what was learned in building a bird nest and applying it to designing a landing pad for a space capsule. Perfect for Star Wars day, right? This activity comes with full teacher instructions and student worksheets. Find the Bird Nest STEM Challenge here.

Let us know how you plan to be one with the force on this year's May the 4th Star Wars Day celebration!

Greetings, Just like in the gym and last week, please perform your stretching routine. For cardiovascular, please choose to do  3 minutes of jump rope or a three minute jog.  PreK to 1st grade, feel free to lay the rope on the ground and jump across it, back and forth, with two feet if possible.

This week, we will begin "striking" a ball. For this activity, you will need to locate a ball at your home. A tennis ball or wiffle ball is ideal.  A wiffle ball bat or implement that will substitute for a wiffle bat will work. In your backyard or open space, place your ball on a tee or a cone, and then strike the ball. If you don't have a tee or cone, ask a family member to pitch the ball to you at an appropriate speed and distance.  Do this activity for 15 minutes.

The following is a support video for hitting a ball off a tee.  Remember even Major Leaguers practice hitting a ball off a tee!  Have fun and stay active.

Please feel free to share this page.

Here are some stories and music activities for children who are staying home from school. We will be adding to this daily.

Although it is perfectly fine to simply play these for children, we encourage you to do them with children yourselves; tell them stories (these and others), sing with them, dance with them, read them picture books adding your own favorite background music.

Although some of the activities are categorized by suggested age group, older children might very well enjoy the stories and activities for younger children, and younger children might very well enjoy the stories for older children.

Earth Day is celebrated April 22 each year. It is a day set aside to bring awareness to the importance of protecting our planet. The first official Earth Day was in 1970 in response to increasing oil spills, smog, and water pollution. All across the United States, there were protests and public gatherings with the intention of educating the public about the problems facing the environment.

Since 1970, Earth Day has grown into a global even with an estimated 1 billion people now participating around the world. Here in the US, Earth Day is observed with public events with speakers, activities, and work days. Schools and organizations teach children and the public the importance of caring for the Earth.

Celebrate With Earth Day STEM Activities

You can celebrate at home with these awesome Earth Day STEM activities. They are perfect for getting kids thinking about the how our actions affect the health of the Earth and what changes we can make. Through these fun, hands-on activities, your kids will see first hand the importance of protecting our planet. They will learn about recycling, composting, plant growth, global warming, and more.

Good morning everyone,

Happy Thursday!

As we conclude our 4th week of remote learning and enter Spring Break tomorrow, my School Counselor Newsletter (attached to this post) includes various spring break resources and ideas for families to engage in. I have also included a list of community resources in the newsletter.

As we have been spending a majority of our time behind screens, spring break is a great opportunity to take a much needed break from the screens. Here you can find a list of non-screen activities for families to engage in.

I hope you all have a happy, healthy and safe spring break!

Stay well,
