Enrichment Resources

CMSD is currently distributing learning packets. These are academic enrichment materials that are handed out with pick-up meals and posted on the CMSD website:  ClevelandMetroSchools.org.

You can also go to any Staples Store in Cleveland and have them printed out for free.

And here is an example of a story in the 4th-grade packet:

Are YOU Getting Enough Sleep

You may be tempted to stay up late and play video games or read while you have time off.  But are you putting in your time and getting enough sleep, too?  I found a few articles that you can read and think about your sleep and how it helps you.  

For 6th grade and up students: Generation Zzzzz

For 2nd - 5th grade students: Why All Kids Need Sleep

Try filling out a sleep journal to track your sleep such as the ones here:

Sleep journal for elementary students

Sleep journal for teens

Enjoy your extra rest students.  Sleep is an important part of staying healthy!

Scavenger Hunt!

If you are able to head outside you might consider doing a scavenger hunt like this one.  You could also make your own scavenger hunt and if you have a phone you can even snap photos of your finds.  

Or if you are staying indoors you can search for these items inside your home.  Again you could snap a picture with your phone.  If you have a sibling you can even make is a contest!  

Have fun and be creative!  You can make your own scavenger hunt today!

Stay well everyone.  Hope to see you all soon!
