Ms. Glasier and Ms. Hamlet's first grade classes participated in a cross curricular distance learning project with classrooms from Long Island. The project was themed around the book The Mitten. Each class read the book, wrote about their favorite part of the book, created their own mitten with animals craft, and chose an animal character from the book to write descriptive clues about. On January 31 and February 2, the classes video conferenced with the classes from Long Island. Every class shared a map of where they lived and taught each other about their communities. The children were amazed at how far away they were from each other even though lived in the same state. Then the classed took turns reading their favorites parts of the book. Finally, they played a guessing game where students read their animal character clues and the other class had to guess the animal. Once the animal characters were correctly guessed, the boys and girls had a chance to share their mitten and animal crafts.
There will be an informational meeting on Wednesday, February 15, 2023 at 6:00 PM to discuss the Fall 2023 Boys Soccer program at the modified, JV and Varsity levels. We will be reviewing enrollment information, student interest data, and potential options to consider for the next few years as a District. Boys in grades 6 through 11 who are interested in playing boys soccer next fall should attend this meeting with their parents or guardian in the Auditorium.
We have converted Mrs. Anderson’s AIS classroom into a campground thanks to donations provided through Donors Choose. Our desks have become tents and bear caves have been constructed where we will read and work on math skills.
A lot of learning is expected to take place along with tons of fun. The focus will be on targeting and building the foundational skills that are necessary for students to become successful in reading/math. Each day overflows with hands-on learning, cooking classes, and HAPPY surprises.
The Brocton Central School District would like to wish you a Happy Groundhog Day!!

Day four of computer science education week continued with a day full of robotics in the STEM lab. Mrs. Tiberio and Mrs. Aniszewski's classes created and programmed Lego robots. Mrs. Liberator's class learned to use color and line coding to program Ozobots. Miss Bartok's class used play-based Cubetto robots for a tactile, screen free introduction to coding.
Why are children learning to code? Coding builds thinking skills, increases problem solving abilities, allows student to be creative, fosters collaboration, improves computational thinking, teaches digital literacy, prepares students for technology skills they may need in the future, and encourages persistence and perseverance.
Day four of computer science education week started with Miss Woltz's class creating computer programs for circuit playgrounds and building and coding drones.
