Happy Thanksgiving Mrs. Winter

Since most of our Thanksgiving dinners will end up being quieter and smaller, it may be a good time to start a new tradition of identifying the ‘good deed doers’ in our lives (watch the Wizard of Oz after dinner and see what the Wizard gives the Tin Man) and how we can show them just how important they are.

Make it fun: Art Museums and galleries with kids

One of my favorite things to do with my own kids and younger students is to walk into a room filled with paintings and simply tell them to pick out their favorite piece. Ask them to close their eyes, turn around one time slowly, open them and pick their favorite painting.

This simple game gave them control over what they were looking at and choosing, leading to more conversations about the work and overall day.
