• Write a sequel to your favorite book

Looking for a digital app? If so, procreate is a perfect app to work with. It’s downloadable on a I-pad, but unfortunately not on mobile devices. Procreate pocket costs 5 dollars and has less options, but is still very reliable. Procreate has more brushes and a wider home page. The cost is 10 dollars, so be sure to not get confused between procreate pocket and procreate.

9. Learn the Periodic Table

10. Learn the first 100 digits of Pi

This may sound like a waste of time, but it’s always fun to learn about Pi. Pi is an infinite number, going on and on and on and on and on and on and on… well, you get the point. Watch this video and try and remember the whole song! https://youtu.be/3HRkKznJoZA

11. Create and find a music playlist!
Music can be relaxing, upbeat, fast, slow, and come in all different forms. Find your own music that suits you and discover new artists!

12. Make new friends!

Message people on an app you use like Google Chat or Google Hangouts. It’s good to meet new people, especially people from your class in online learning. That you can look forward to seeing them when we go back to school! 🙂

13. Find your gifts

Do you ever wonder what things bring you joy? Write them down or make an invisible list in your head, that way when you feel down or angry, you can control yourself and think and appreciate the good things in your life.

14. Show your appreciation to your friends or people you know

This is similar to one of the other ideas on the list, Make something for your teachers and staff. But this time instead of making something, you write a note or say a short sentence like thank you. Another way of showing appreciation is by saying goodnight and good morning to your friends. That way when they wake up, they can see that you contacted them. This makes them happy because you are signalizing that you were thinking about them.
