Resources for online learning

I hope you all are adjusting to our new temporary normal in education. Several parents have asked for additional resources for enrichment opportunities for their children. Here are some suggestions to help with keeping your children learning and growing: To keep up with timely articles and activities, request to join our UnBOCES Gifted Education Parent Group . To join, search for "UnBOCES Gifted Education Parent Group" on your main Facebook page. Click through and select "Join." You will be asked a question and then be sent for approval. This page is private and only for parents of gifted learners in our area. Here you will find articles and activities posted as I find them. STEM challenges :  https://www.jamesdysonfoundation.com/resources/challenge-cards.html  44 different science and engineering challenges will both wow and teach your children.

Update on spring BOCES competitions!

Because of the current situation of online schooling, we have chosen to continue our Battle of the Books competition in an online platform! For the first time ever, we will be hosting all five districts' teams in a digital battle. Your district's coach has all of the details! Unfortunately, we will be canceling our Math Olympiad for this year. However, we have created some online challenges for those math kiddos to continue to play math. Contact your district's Math Olympiad coach for information on how to access these resources. Stay safe and keep on learning!!
