4th Grade Life Skills Part 5

Come up with a 1 or 2 hobbies / activities that you want to spend you time working on. This IS NOT to replace a little time relaxing, seeing friends, etc. A hobby or activity is something you do along with those things as part of your life so that you can do something new and contribute and give back to the world. Here are examples.

Come up with a few ideas for hobbies of your own. It could be visual arts, music, athletics, writing, helping others, or something else. There is no one right answer for how you should spend your time, but you have to do it with a purpose!

let’s break down two or three specific skills or goals that are small parts of that hobby. 
It takes lots of practice to get good at something, and it gets more fun as you gain those first skills, but it can be hard to get there.
