Day 1: Life Lessons

Our Featured Guests:

Author, Matthew McConaughey & Illustrator, Renee Kurilla

Crayola Creativity Week begins with an affirming, inspirational look at the value of challenging assumptions and encourages children to reconsider how they interpret and respond to everyday experiences. Matthew McConaughey, a celebrated actor and author, will share his best-selling book, Just Because. The book is filled with humor and serious reflection and will give students (and adults too!) important opportunities to talk and express their feelings about real life and those just because experiences. Positive life lessons and creative drawing activities will launch Crayola Creativity Week with an unforgettable experience!

Supplies needed: Computer or phone access to play video, a variety of Crayola art tools, plain paper or printed Thinking Sheets, copy of the book Just Because (optional)
