We hope you and your families are doing well and staying healthy. Just because we can't be physically together, doesn't mean we can't share a laugh together. This week, to celebrate that Humor is the P2 character strength this week, FaceBook will include daily posts of "puny" jokes.
We've had such an increase in posts lately, I thought I would share a general daily timeline for the posts:
- 5:30am Science Activity such as STEM Activity / Science Experiment
- 8:30am Story time with one of our Swifty staff
- 12:00pm Update from a specialist -- Art, Music, PE, or media, except Wednesday which is Brighter Together! Be ready to share your jokes or shouts outs!
- 4:00 Ms. Smith continues reading "Wonder"
- 5:00 For Humor week, "puny" jokes that you can share at the dinner table
Your PTA Executive Board,
Marie, Deb ([email protected]), Lauren ([email protected]), Delores ([email protected])
Positivity Project: Humor
This week in the Positivity Project, the character strength is Humor. To help celebrate we will be featuring "puny" jokes on the PTA FaceBook page at 5:00pm. Maybe you can share these at the dinner table. ;-)
