​Paco had a great time presenting to his class this week. He wasn’t able to be in person, but he was live and it was great! Have you ever done a Share and Tell with your class, your family, or a few friends? It is a great way to learn new things about the people you interact with.
 
To help you put together your very own Share and Tell, Paco created a new activity for you to use. Just find a special object, thing, or token that you’d like to share with others then check out the worksheet for questions that will help you Share and Tell with your audience! What will you share this week?

Paco had his game face on this week! He loves to play games with his family and friends. From hopscotch to hide and seek he likes all kinds of games. He especially likes board games.  He likes board games SO much that he made his own for you to try!
 
To get started, print one of the Adventure Game pdf’s below.  Paco loves the full color game board but he’s not always by his color printer. Just in case you aren’t either, he made a grayscale version that works the exact same way! Be sure to print all the pages including the instructions, the game cards, and the game board. You’ll need scissors to cut out the game cards and a small object for each player to use on the board. Now grab a couple other players and have some fun.
 
What does your game face look like? Paco would love to see!

Paco has been having fun with his puppet pal, Sam. Did you get his postcard? Sam is quite a character! Puppets are a great way to use your imagination and have some fun. Have you ever seen a puppet show? They are entertaining events. 

If you want to try out your own puppet show, print out Paco's latest activity: Animal Puppets. You can create as many of these cute critter finger puppets as you want. Just give each a personality and put on your own show! What will your puppet show be about? 

Paco showed off one of his favorite talents this week, did you get his postcard? He looked like quite the rock star for his talent show performance. He had such a great time he made an On the Go Talent Show for you to use where-ever you want. At home, at school, at the park, or even in the dark! Talent shows can be whatever you want.

Grab a few friends or family members and print the worksheets below to get the show started! What will your talent be? Share your ideas with Paco in the comments below.

Paco had a wonderful week creating a play to put on at home. It was the first time he did his own play and it turned out wonderfully. Paco's play this week was all about Abraham Lincoln. He got inspired to do the play after reading a biography about the 16th US President! 

With Paco's latest activity you can create your own biography about anyone you know, famous or not. After you complete the activity, you could put on your own play too! What a great learning experience it would be. Have fun my friends!
​ 

A book a day lets your imagination play! All this time at home has given Paco lots of time to read. He learned about a biography this week. You know what other types of stories are great? Illustrated stories! Have you ever read 'The Day the Crayons Quit?' or 'What Do You Do with an Idea?' What about 'Strictly No Elephants'? Those are some wonderful Illustrated books! 

Let's create your own illustrated book!! Just start with a squiggle. This is one of Paco's favorite activities to let his mind wander. Add extra pages to continue your story if you run out of room. Where will the squiggle take you? 

Please stay safe and healthy! 

Paco had a great visit with a Police Officer this week! Have you ever met a police officer? Paco learned a little bit about all the great work police officers do and he was inspired! If you want to get inspired too, just make your own Police Officer Badge with Paco's make your own activity!
