We are temporarily reviving our Children's Blog to provide some resources for families who are stuck at home during this period of social distancing due to COVID-19. We will put together a variety of activities for you and your families every day at 1:00 pm. Watch for weekend Boredom Busters on Saturday and/or Sunday. See which ones you can do, and if you get the chance, share the results with us on any of our social media platforms, which will be listed at the bottom of this blog.
Today's theme is Alphabet Adventures!
Hopefully these activities help break up the day and get your family engaging in the wonderful art of poetry.

The alphabet as we know it is just one of many. Check out other alphabets from around the world, and try to write something using those alphabets. Write your name, write a greeting, write a sentence.
Share it with others and see how many languages you can introduce each other to!
