Hello Families, Now that we are coming to the end of Week 6 of our Remote Learning, we hope that you are finding patterns in our lessons. We have worked to find common and expected learning opportunities, and have also provided families with additional options to extend our learning through the Enrichment tab. As a first grade team we have worked hard these last 6 weeks to figure out the best way to bring lessons and assignments to you. What we have figured out is that there is no one BEST delivery method, so we have provided you with alternatives. When we can, we are trying to provide both a printable and a SEESAW option to assignments. We realize that the technology works differently on different devices, and we have appreciated your ingenuity in finding ways to use SEESAW to get assignments to us! What you can expect consistently across the weeks is a repetition to our daily plans. Attached is an outline that has a close approximation of our days.
Earth Day-NBCS Earth Day Flower Activity. The Bobcat Behavior Team would love to hear about how you celebrated or plan to celebrate! Hopefully during your home learning time, you are getting outside and enjoying nature. As citizens of our New Boston community and of our Earth, we have a responsibility to keep our community clean and to not waste resources. Show us how you are being responsible! Attached is a flower template for you to decorate. In the petals or around the flower, please write or draw about ways that you can be responsible and help our environment. When you're done with your flower, take a picture and load it to this form:https://forms.gle/7QXKpwjg72a5N6ry8 by Thursday, April 30th. You may also send a photo showing your Earth Day spirit, We will put all of the flowers/photos together into a slideshow to share with all of you!
