Check-In with everyone
Hello! High Priority Vocabulary--*Number words
This is a WORD SEARCH!! You can do a shared screen or show your work to the camera if you have your printout at home.
Show & Share
Let's see those tools! Where do you use them? Who benefits from them? How long have you known how to do what you do with them? Who taught you to do it? How do you care for it? Is it a tool you can demonstrate how to use?
Next week Show & Share will focus on emergency supplies and knowing what to do in a crisis. When emergencies happen, it really helps if everyone is prepared and can do their part correctly.

This web page is like a fun click and learn activity. You read the state it is asking for and try to guess which flag is that state's flag.
Bragging VS Confidence
In this week's Life Skills Story we saw Todd brag about winning. But there are a lot of people who tell us to be confident, be proud of ourselves.
How can we have self-confidence without bragging?
- Confidence doesn't exaggerate. It just tells the FACTS.
- Bragging often tries to make others feel small.
- Confidence can give credit to others.
- Bragging ALWAYS has to use the "superlative" that means words like "best," "greatest," "biggest."
- Confidence only uses superlatives if there is evidence that those are the truth, like someone else said it.
- Bragging is just about the braggart.
- Confidence can be proud of other people too.
Use this wheel to practice telling the difference.
PRESENTERS: spin the wheel and read the sentence aloud. If it is a bragging sentence, read it that way. If it's a confident sentence say it that way. And if it can be either, talk about that. Just do as many as your group wants to.

Scattegories Online with a Twist!
- Assign each player a number from 1-12 (fewer is OK.)
- Remember your number because that will be your turn.
- Go to this website: Scattegories
- Read the big letter and make sure everyone knows that the words they think of have to start with that letter.
- Click the Play button
- PRESENTER reads the categories in number order one at a time.
- The player with that number says a word for that category that starts with the letter. If they can't think of one in 12 seconds they are out.
