  • Students can work on the Winter Word Search and the Finish the Drawing.

Hi everyone,

I sent an email with login information for Teams. When you go to login, it's username@nbss.nbed.nb.ca, so for example, Fred Smith would have an email of fresmi47569@nbss.nbed.nb.ca. You need to make sure that you're putting it in as an email and not just the user name, just in case there's any confusion. 

I did realized that I sent you all NBESS instead of NBSS, There should be no "E", I apologize!

Mr. Dunnett
