What is our theme? Kindness
What is the lesson (overall purpose)? Your child will make a beautiful picture for a friend or someone they miss and haven’t seen in awhile. Doing this your child is exercising their creativity and critical thinking skills and doing something kind for a special person in their life.
MA Guidelines/Standards: Kindness is a key ingredient that helps children feel good. Having a positive outlook allows them greater attention spans and enables more creative thinking to produce better results at school.
Learning Outcomes: Today your child will make a picture for a friend or loved one. They may want to write a message to this person. Then they will place it in an envelope and mail it to that person.
Songs, Books & Videos (Motivational Techniques)
Talk to your child about how everyone right now feels a little lonely and misses their friends and loved ones. How would they feel if they received a picture with some kind words from a friend? What else could you do to let your friends know you care?

Activity (Procedure):
Activity Wrap Up: Your child feels happy to make something nice for someone they care about and miss.
