For today you can:
- Write your book report on the Maine book you read this week.
- Create a card and mail to an area nursing home to let residents know you are thinking of them.
- Color a picture and mail to a local hospital to let them know you are thinking of them.
- Spend time outside. Are there any signs of spring you can observe? Take a walk and wave to your neighbors!
- Create a snack for your family to share. Older kids can help younger kids.
