ELEMENTARY ENGAGEMENT GUIDE

TUESDAY, MAY 12, 2020

WORD OF THE DAY:

SPECTACULAR: (adjective) Beautiful in a dramatic and eye catching way  

The pictures we create during Boys & Girls Club Week are spectacular!

 

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

-USHER
HEALTHY SNACK:

Apple Peanut Butter “Sandwich”  

Slice one apple into rounds. Using a cookie cutter, remove the core and seeds of each apple ring. Spread each ring with peanut butter and scatter raisins on top. Place another ring over the top to create a “sandwich.” (Note: If your child has a nut allergy, replace the peanut butter with a seed butter, such as sunflower seed butter, pumpkin seed butter or raw tahini.)  

 

CAREER OF THE DAY:

Lawyer: If you were good at talking your way out of punishments when you were little, your parents might have said you’d make a good lawyer. Of course, the actual workload of a lawyer is probably a bit more difficult than children imagine. Lawyers must go through three years of law school and pass a written bar examination. Most lawyers work in private or corporate legal offices, but some work for local, state, and federal governments. There are numerous types of lawyers ranging from criminal and defense lawyers to environmental attorneys. Most lawyers work very long hours, but they can also make very good salaries.

 

 

CHALLENGE OF THE DAY:

For this challenge, all you need is one cookie per player!  

How to win: Players must place a cookie on their forehead, without using their hands, player must move the cookie from their forehead into their mouth.
