In
conjunction with the National Toys for Tots Foundation, local Toys
for Tots has made arrangements to donate 250 books to the New
Holland-Middletown School District. The majority of the books will
be offered free to NH-M students. The balance will go into the
school's library to replace some of their older editions.
On Tuesday, Donna Gaydosh (left) visited Rachel Stapleton at the
school to see all the great books that kids will be able to choose
from when they come to clean out their classrooms and lockers.

Something
to do while staying at home:
-
There is rain in the forecast the rest
of this week. Use that time inside to learn a new craft -
Macramé. Learn your knots with shorter pieces of
inexpensive yarn. When you're ready, move on to jute or
sturdy cord and make your own plant hanger for outdoor use
later.
-
Time to take a nature walk.
Kickapoo Creek Park is open for hiking when observing social
distancing. Read the article - print the scavenger hunt
sheet and go for a walk. If you don't want to go to the
park, you can also find most of these items in our city and
county parks and maybe even in your own back yard!
-
For all our stay at home
parent/teachers and students you can take a great field trip to
a local museum right in front of your computer. View the
three part field trips of the Lincoln Heritage Museum at Lincoln
College. Hosted by Anne Moseley and Ron Keller.
-
Sunday is Mother's Day and it can still be
a very special day for mom in spite of the stay at home orders.
Instead of taking her out to lunch guys, get in the kitchen with the
kiddos and make her a special brunch/breakfast. Here are easy,
kid friendly recipes to choose from.
-
AND REMEMBER if you are not sheltering
with your mother, give her a call!
-
We know this has gone on for WEEKS now.
Our little ones especially may have become restless and need a
little help to stay at their best. Try creating a Reward Chart
for each one. Customize it with chores they can do, homework
goals, and acts of kindness they show to one another. Then,
give them a reward to work toward with their good behavior and
helping around the house.
-
Read online "Three
Hens and a Peacock" - Link
-
Then -
Make a Paper Bag Peacock Puppet - Link
Like it or not, Stay at Home orders are
still in place through the month of May. Looking on the bright side
- you and your children are living through a very historical event
in our lives. Today, create a journal/scrapbook for each of you.
Write down your story of COVID-19 add pictures and art. It will be
something you can share with others for years to come.
It's going to be rainy this week, so
head to the kitchen with the kiddos and have some fun!
Garden Centers may open May 1st.
Use this website to guide you and your child through the entire
growing season with fun, easy activities, making chores into games
and much much more! Includes preparation activities you can do
with your child now, before you go to the garden center.
