Resources for Sheltering in Place

This week I heard from students that they are in search of these resources. For the next 6 days, we're crowd sourcing to add to this page. Share your ideas through this survey.
These are the four categories:
Things to do With Children
Delicious, Comforting, Tried and True RECIPES
Health and Wellness
Entertainment
Other

Hopefully we'll have a longer and more interesting list next week.  Here's are some of my suggestions, as well as a few from other students.

Add your resources to this list  here.

Things To Do With Children

Family Play Plans by TRUCE

Indoor and outdoor play ideas

Wonder Play Book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/823071.Wonderplay
WONDERPLAY offers interactive and developmental ideas to enrich the time you spend with your child between birth and the preschool years.

Paint with water on newspaper or any paper.

WideOpenSchool.Org
Google, PBS, National Geographic, Scholastic and other companies working together to do online schooling.  For Pre-K to 12th grade.

Here are some great interactive performances for kids featuring artists from around the world at Carnegie Hall. Each one is about an hour long.

DIY Toilet Roll Binoculars

Delicious, Comforting, Tried and True RECIPES



Cozy Butternut, Sweet Potato, and Red Lentil Stew
I usually omit the tomato paste.  It makes it too tomatoey for my liking.

Cheesy Muffins

Roasted Chicken Breasts Ratatouille



Instant Pot Vegetarian Chili


Health and Wellness

Six Daily Questions To Ask Yourself In Quarantine

Movewell Pilates with Greta Schoenberg, a mom from our CCSF classes, has pilates videos on how to sit correctly while working at home or driving, standing, and a gentle workout.

7 Minute Workout. Do it at a pace that works for you. There are lots of versions of this you can choose from, and I like this one: 

Entertainment (Highly Recommended Books, Movies, Series, Music...)

Kim's Convenience, Netflix Series, 4 seasons of 20 minute episodes, always a good laugh.

Dutch House, the book by Ann Patchett, was very good.  Friends have said the audio read by Tom Hanks is excellent.

Noe Music, has started an online Listening Club and the next one is on Saturday, April 11 at 7pm. It’s a great chance to gather and get inside some incredible music with a super charismatic and knowledgable musical guide. We had 250 people sing into our first one last week so we are planning a bunch more. More info here.

Raising Grateful Children and Squashing Materialism

There is the old adage, "you can't give your child something you don't have yourself."  If we want grateful children, we'll have to model gratitude first.  "Gratitude is more than behavior-- it is an internal experience... of NOTICE-THINK-FEEL-DO."  Let's try to be mindful of this, for the sake of our children. What Parents Need to Understand About Gratitude On the flip side of gratitude is materialism. Understanding why kids want things and what to do about it is helpful. In this season of buy-buy-buy, consider alternatives to obtaining things by focusing on what matters in life. Why Kids Want Things 6 Ways to Squash Kids' Materialism This Holiday Enjoy this winter break with your family.  We'll see you in January! CLASS ANNOUNCEMENTS This week of December 16 is the last week of classes, the semester ends on December 22.  We will have a potluck celebration in class.  Bring food and good cheer to share.
