We don't always have time to make delicious things. Our lives are full of quick meals and fast food. Why not make something from scratch (that means homemade!) I have made many good recipes since we have been social distancing. Here's one for you to try: Carmel Popcorn. I made this the other night at my house. A delicous diversion! This recipe uses popcorn on the stove, which is challenging. You might make it a different way. Please clear this activity with your parents. I don't want to be responsible for any burnt pans at your house. .]]> 2020-04-09 19:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/501173495 becky_thibodeau https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/501188388 This is a rare pleasure we don't usually get to have. We are always going and going and going and we don't just sit an relax. Find a book you want to read. This is an activity in itself. Then find a good spot to read. Read. ]]> 2020-04-09 19:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/501188388 becky_thibodeau https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/501967164 I don't know if you remember making these in my class in years past, but this is a great way to remember what Jesus did for us on the cross. It's a great activity to do with your family. Try it! ]]> 2020-04-10 12:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/501967164 becky_thibodeau https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/502004371 One of the best ways to fight boredom is to get outside of yourself. When we focus too much on ourselves we start to feel sorry for ourselves and we get down in the dumps or depressed. Look around. What could you do that would make someone else's day? Evaluate your surroundings, your resources, your abilities, and do something! ]]> 2020-04-10 13:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/502004371 becky_thibodeau https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/506275349 This past Thanksgiving I made a special Kahoot for my family to play. If you are really good, you can put it on your TV screen. That would be easier than what I did. I used my computer screen. If your family is anything like mine, they aren't the greatest listeners, so there was quite a learning curve, especially for my aunts, uncle, and parents. But we did it. It was a Kahoot about family trivia. We had a lot of fun. Maybe there is a Kahoot you would like to create. You can share it with your famiy or with us at our next meeting. ]]> 2020-04-14 12:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/506275349 becky_thibodeau https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/509089807 I realized that I really miss making music. I decided I would learn to play something my dad played, the accordion. Yesterday I got my dad's accordion and started learning how to play it by using Youtube. Who knows, maybe Praise Band will have an accordion accompaniment someday! ]]> 2020-04-15 17:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/509089807 becky_thibodeau https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/512884675 Watch CNN10. It's just 10 minutes, and it you could learn something. Why just have all your news come from social media? Watch a legit news show and be better informed. ]]> 2020-04-17 13:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/512884675 becky_thibodeau https://padlet.com/becky_thibodeau/gbjhcpi7sxnavpfi/wish/513101939 Are you stuck in the same old same old rut?

I think I wiould have a claustrophobic episode! But here are a few free online escape rooms to try. You do get a feeling of accomplishment when you do them.
