As part of the district’s reopening plan during the COVID-19 pandemic, students had the option of full remote learning. There is one virtual class per grade at the elementary level, each with a dedicated teacher based at the Manor School. Virtual class meet-up sessions were held at Manor on Nov. 19 and 20. Each class had a 45-minute time slot under the large tent behind the school.
Teachers planned a variety of activities. Marina Massa and her first graders read “Turkey Trouble,” followed by some Thanksgiving-themed crafts including thankful bracelets and turkey hats. A read aloud of “A Little Thanksgiving Spot” and a game of freeze dance highlighted the second grade get-together.

“It was a wonderful experience for myself and the children to see each other in person,” teacher Keri Falcone said.
Third graders did a fall-themed stencil art project with teacher Kacy Kaiser, creating leaves, squirrels and turkeys, which they could take to hang up at home. She also read “Thanksgiving Cats.” Danielle Siebner’s fourth graders made fall suncatchers and Haley Timko’s fifth graders did paintings of pumpkins on small canvases.
