Educators at the Norwich City School District are excited to publish the stories of our courses through our curricular storyboards. Each storyboard is a 30,000-foot view of our courses, told in story or narrative format.
These storyboards, meant for caregivers and our community, stem from each team’s work carefully examining and unpacking their standards and understanding student learning outcomes. They result in a story sequence of what students will learn throughout their experience in each course.
Check them out by visiting our site here: https://www.norwichcsd.org/page/storyboarding-ncsd

Weekly Game Schedule
Today our youngest engineers brought the classic tale, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" to life with a fun challenge! Ms. Wenzel and Miss Mercer's Stay and Play groups teamed up to design and build a bridge for a troll to live under. Using only cardboard and tape, they explored engineering concepts like balance, weight distribution, and creativity. The best part? Seeing their eyes light up when their bridge held strong—and when our friendly troll made his way under! Storytime meets science for an unforgettable hands-on adventure!
4-H Camp Owahta in Cortland County is offering residential and day camp week-long stays from July through August and is for ages 6-16. Please contact them for additional information.
