Welcome to Week 6!
We challenge each family to get outside, step away from screens, beat the gloom of the winter weather, and stay committed to keeping ourselves active and connected with each other and the great outdoors.
Fun Activities
CHALK MESSAGES
Look around your sidewalks in your neighborhood and see if you find inspiring chalk messages around. 

Take a photo or tell us about what you found and where you found it when you get home! Want to join in the fun? Grab some chalk, and start inspiring others with words or beautiful colors.
Look for bags of sidewalk chalk in the Free Little Library this week!

ART HUNT!
Have your kids create something they can put in their windows and identify other Alki homes when they go on walks!

Share where your art is and see if your friends walk by your house and spot it!
Art Class with Ms. Dilley
This week in Art class, Ms. Dilley will compare how Alma Woodsy and Claude Money look at nature and how they painted in two different, but equally amazing ways. Perhaps your student will be inspired by something they see on your family walks!
