Hello First and Second Grade Families,
I hope that we are finding you all well. We truly miss seeing you all!
We have been working on creating a google classroom for the 1st and 2nd grade. Every child now has a gmail account. In your child’s new gmail account there will be an invite to the 1st and 2nd 2019-2020 classroom.
How to access your child’s gmail account
Password: cabotschool
Email address format for 2nd grade: [email protected]
Email address format for 1st grade: [email protected]
When you login there should be an invite to the 1st and 2nd grade 2019-2020 classroom. Please click the invite and join!
To get back to the classroom each day make sure your child is logged in. There is a waffle icon at the top right hand corner with a down down menu. You will click the icon that says classroom. Your child’s google classroom will come up and you will click that. Please make sure to check the classwork tap at the top of the page for new assignments.

We will be posting a question daily to the classroom for 1st and 2nd grade students to answer. This is our way of checking in daily with students to make sure they are accessing the material that is being posted. We will give each student a 2 hour period (8am-10am) to answer this morning question. Your child’s response will indicate his or her attendance for the day.
Assignments will be posted on google classroom from all teachers the first and second grade students interact with. So you will be seeing other materials posted that are not from Mrs. Ferrario and Ms. Finlayson.
Friday was originally a parent teacher conference day so it is not considered a work day for students. Ms. Finlayson will however be calling in and checking with 2nd grade families by phone between 11:00am and 1:00pm. Mrs. Ferrario will be calling in and checking with 1st grade families. With that being said, we are going to continue to follow the school calendar. There will be no new material posted or sent home the week of April 20th. Class work will resume April 27th.
New writing journals will be sent home next week. We decided as a team how important it is to write and to write daily. Directions will be sent home but, the assignment in a nutshell, is having the students write about their daily experiences through this historical event we are living through. Our hope is that this journal becomes a keepsake that they can hold on to for years to come and look back on.
If you have any comments, questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out.
Stay well,
Molly Finlayson & Donna Ferrario

Greetings from your art teacher!
I've also given this assignment to my older students. If you have siblings, this is a project you can do together.
I hope you have all been busy making lots of great things! In art class, our time goes by so quickly and I rarely get t read a book with you all, which is one of my favorite things to do. Chris Van Allsburg is the author-illustrator who wrote the book Jumanji. It was later turned into a movie. Maybe you have seen it?
I’m sharing a link to a read-aloud of the original illustrated story:https://youtu.be/yUPtP5v8Vco
It’s an exciting story for sure. How could you design your own board game? If you have a recycled cardboard cereal box or any other box, you can cut it open and then draw your board. Maybe you make your own player pieces or you could use favorite toys, lego pieces or a few found rocks. Anything will do. What is the goal for your players? How do they win? What are the rules? Is this a one person challenge or a multiplayer game? You get to make up all of the rules. Good luck!
Much love,
Mrs. Bergman
