Dear students and families,
As COVID-19 has become our new reality, we have had to adapt to our new environment, finding a way to continue our learning as a community. This past week, I, along with many of the teachers at BLS, have been designing and crafting enriching and engaging learning activities for you to complete while at home. Some days will be more stressful than others. Sometimes you may feel scared. Some days you may find yourself bored beyond compare. Whatever each day may bring, I hope you can take solace in knowing there are activities here that can rest your mind, focus your attention away from the news and or boredom, and provide some routine and consistency in these uncharted times.
On SIS work will be graded on completion only. We want to provide you low stress but also keep you engaged and interested in learning during this time.
Make certain to try to make a goal for yourself to step outside at least once each day in order to get some fresh air. It is important to get some exercise. Please practice social-distancing when outside. Go for a walk, pick up the mail, take your pet for a walk, ride a bike, play a quick game with a family member in your home. Do yoga, follow a dancer on YouTube who is offering free lessons during this time. Make certain you do something AcTiVe for yourself each day.
I am thinking of each one of you. You and your family are in my thoughts.
Although I will update the assignments tab of this blog on a weekly basis, going forward please check Google Classroom regularly, as that will be the most informative location for all weekly assignments. Google Classroom will provide the most in-depth information about assignments, expectations, instructions, and due dates.
Be well and safe.
~Mrs. Callum
