Turn Off the Screens!

Postcards went home today to encourage a day without any screens: TVs, movie theater, computer, tablet, Kindle, DSI, or phones.  A day-long challenge?  Two days?  A week?  A kindergarten challenge?  A family challenge?  You decide when, who, and for how long.  Postcards should be returned by Monday, March 3.
We came up with a list of things students could do instead of turning on a screen, though you are certainly not limited to this!
