This builds your intellectual wellness by using creativity to come up with the moves, using coordination to complete the moves, and using memory to put them all together repeatedly.  Try teaching it to a friend or family member for even more benefit to your intellect.

Intellectual Wellness Challenge #2!

Incorporate fitness into a game that involves whatever trivia content you pick. Some examples of trivia ideas could be places, actors, athletes, or health topics. You can set your game up any way that you would like. After all, this is YOUR game.  Try sharing it online with people or families that you know so that they can also have fun and fitness while they are at home. Some things to think about for your game: What are your interests? What kind of questions do you want to develop? How will you incorporate fitness into your game? Will there be a point system? If so, how will the point system be designed? Will there be a reward for the winner?  I hope you enjoy your fitness trivia!

Article and Activity...
Hello students! During this time of social distancing, here is an article explaining self-esteem. It is optional to read to the article but, I think it would be beneficial and has some good information. There will be no grade or no written assignment to turn in. After you read this article I encourage you to spark a face to face to conversation with anyone that is in your house with you. Yes, facetime does count as face to face interaction. A good time to spark a conversation would be during times of physical activity like going for a walk. This conversation should be about ways to boost our self-esteem. Also, talk about some ways that you can boost others self-esteem. Some things to think about when starting your conversation: What makes you feel good in life? What are some things that gain confidence in yourself? What seems to put you down (things you want to avoid)? What are some things that you can say to other people to boost their self-esteem? 

Self-Esteem

The term self-esteem is used to describe a person's overall sense of self-worth or personal value. In other words, how much you appreciate and like yourself. Self-esteem is often seen as a personality trait, which means that it tends to be stable and enduring. Self-esteem can involve a variety of beliefs about yourself, such as the appraisal of your own appearance, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. Self-esteem can play a significant role in your motivation and success throughout your life. Low self-esteem may hold you back from succeeding at school or work because you don't believe yourself to be capable of success. By contrast, having a healthy self-esteem can help you achieve because you navigate life with a positive, assertive attitude and believe you can accomplish your goals. As you might imagine, there are different factors that can influence self-esteem. Genetic factors that help shape overall personality can play a role, but it is often our experiences that form the basis for overall self-esteem. Those who consistently receive overly critical or negative assessments from caregivers, family members, and friends, for example, will likely experience problems with low self-esteem. Additionally, your inner thinking, age, any potential illnesses, disabilities, or physical limitations, and your job can affect your self-esteem.

 

This site is essentially an interactive textbook covering topics such as Newton’s Laws, kinematics, circular motion, conservation of energy, and the like. In the text it offers example problems; as well as, practice problems and solution methods. Students will also find site specific, online interactives and simulations that they can utilize.

Hello Bandies,

    

Here are two tracts of SR Band Coronavirus Enrichment.

The first one is for playing your instrument, if you have your instrument at home and the second is musical enrichment without your instrument. You are welcome to participate in both!

    I will be adding more instruction for each item listed above and it may change as the days of quarantine continue.

    Look for the helpers.  Also, we should someday meet again and play as a group.

The lessons are structured like a school day with an opening bell, break time activities and virtual field trips. Lessons typically take 5-15 minutes to read and include short instructional videos. Follow-up “homework” activities further bring those lessons to life. Lessons are designed to utilize common household materials.
