High Priority Vocabulary
Look at “Make a Card.” You should have received a printed copy of this.
Option #1: Follow the directions on the card to make a greeting card for someone. You will require another sheet of paper, scissors, glue or tape, and crayons or colored pencils.
Option #2: Color in the pictures on the paper and then cut them out.
Presenters: Encourage participants to follow option #1 if they are able. See if they are able to read and follow the directions on their own without someone else reading it out loud for them. Otherwise, prompt participations to follow option #2.
Additionally, you may want to open the worksheet, share your screen, and as a group use Zoom’s annotate feature to color in the pictures.

Thematic Connection: Clothing & Community Engagement
What’s our theme for Tuesdays?
What have we been learning about on Tuesdays this month?
Today we are putting those together: let’s have a conversation about how what we wear relates to community and civic engagement.
Let’s look how some people out in the community are dressed. Would you say they’re dressed appropriately? Why or why not? What do you think of how these people are dressed?
Presenters: open this slide show and then share your screen: Dress in the Community. Use this presentation to facilitate your discussion.
Show & Share: Do you have some clothes that you usually wear only at home? Do you have other clothes that you usually only wear outside the house? How are clothes that we wear out in public different from clothes that we wear around the house?
Show & Share: Share about a time that you attended a special event. How did you dress? Is that different from how you usually dress?
