Boyden WeeklyUpdateMarch 15, 2024

Dear Boyden Families,


Thank you for joining us at the recent parent/teacher conferences. It is always great to have these conversations about our students, their progress and our goals for the rest of this school year. If you didn’t get an opportunity to meet with your student’s teacher, please contact them or the office and we’ll be happy to help schedule a meeting.


Today, we welcomed another cultural assembly to Boyden with the Harney Academy of Irish Dance performing for the whole school. It was an amazing performance and it was fun to see current and past Boyden students put on a great show


Have a nice weekend!

Brendan

News from the Gymnasium

K: Kindergarteners in the month of February, worked on gross and fine motor skill activities and games. Students worked on numerous scarf activities to help with hand-eye coordination. Kindergarten also had an opportunity to work on beanbag stations that focused on balance, coordination, tossing and cooperative play!


1st: First graders also worked on gross and fine motor skill activities and games. Students

played a variety of scarf activities to help with hand-eye coordination. All first grade classes had

an opportunity to work on beanbag stations that focused on balance, coordination, tossing and

cooperative play!


2nd: Second grade classes started the month of February working on the key components of

throwing. We also played a variety of throwing games to go over those components throughout

the month.


3rd: Third grade started their first lessons on the sport of handball! Students had an opportunity

to learn how the game is played. Third grade students will continue to grow in the sport of

handball over the next few years!


4th: Fourth graders once again started their handball unit. Students revisited game rules, skills

during their lessons. It was fun seeing how well students work together both on defense and

offense during this fast paced game!


5th: Fifth graders also worked on handball through the month of February. It is amazing how far

fifth grade has developed over the last three years playing all positions. Students really seem to

enjoy the game as it became one of their favorites throughout the years!
