************************************************************

How can you use these task cards?

• Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, or available for early finishers to complete using ANY available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them!

• Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet or discuss and use the Google Slides as a class.

• Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.

• Ideally the goal is to do one challenge a day, but you could certainly allow students to do more than one.

**********************************************************

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but also that force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when building these challenges.

Most building challenge task cards are independent from each other. “Build a boat,” or “build an airplane,” are common themes among the cards. While those are fantastic, and we have done many of them ourselves, I wanted to do something different and more cohesive and engaging for kids.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**

**This is not an editable document.**

************************************************************************************************************

During the COVID pandemic, students across the world transitioned to online learning. Online learning has been a difficult experience for them, and this struggle has affected them in many ways – academically, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Switching from traditional classroom and face to face learning to computer-based learning in a virtual classroom makes the learning experience entirely different for students. For many, the abrupt transition to a new learning format has left them with questions and concerns, a lack of motivation, stress, anxiety, and discouragement – experiences that can (or have) ultimately affected their academic performance and sense of well-being.

This highly relevant resource features 40 Remote Learning Challenges Scenarios that students (and teachers) experience on a daily basis since the transition to online learning! The scenarios can be used to increase students’ awareness of the challenges they’re facing and confront them appropriately.

************************************************************************************************************

Through these scenarios, you can help students:

• Explore and evaluate best solutions to online learning challenges
• Brainstorm effective coping skills and strategies
• Practice social skills in a virtual classroom
• Develop and utilize effective strategies to successfully adapt to online learning
• Manage their emotions in difficult situations and when under pressure
• Navigate difficult situations
• Effectively communicate with others
• Practice perspective-taking
• Develop empathy for others who experience the same challenges (or worse)

************************************************************************************************************
The topics featured in these scenarios include:

• Adaptability Struggle
• Lack of Motivation
• Technical Issues / Connectivity (Disrupting Learning and Work)
• Computer Literacy
• Lack of Interaction with Teachers and Peers
• Accountability (No one looking over your shoulder)
• Lack of Structure Away from the Classroom
• Dealing/Managing Emotions
• Time Management
• Self-Motivation
• Resistance
• . . . and more!

************************************************************************************************************

You can use these scenarios in the following ways:

• BELL RINGERS. You can use these scenarios and encourage students to explore solutions to these challenging situations at the start or end of class
• Do Now or Emotional Check-In Activity
• Homework Assignment
• Reflection Period
• Counseling Session
• To introduce a new concept, topic, or idea presented in the scenarios

This creative Watercolor Boat Scene was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I asked students to brainstorm a boat/vessel that they wanted to have in the water, and water kind of body of water they wanted in their artwork. We discussed Winslow Homer, and his style of art. Students sketched their drawing and painted the larger areas first. Students painted the boat, smaller details and reflections last. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.
