In May we began to prepare for the Jog-A-Thon. Kindergarten made sure they brought in their labels. We went to Astoria park to jog. KV had a great time jogging and raising money for our school.
In March, Kindergarten participated in the Annual Academic Fair. Our theme was on the family. Students had a wonderful time putting together family trees, special dishes and sharing family customs and culture.
In February, we visited Queens College and enjoyed watching the musical Suessical. This trip was in celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. The musical was based on Dr. Seuss’ famous story “Horton Hears a Who?”
Our afterschool class decided to have a NO TV day. The following are just a few of the responses of what the students and their families did:
Iris – played games with my family.
Jocelyn – played “Steal the Bacon” with my sister.
Lucas – read books with my mom.
David – I played with my brother and built a castle.
Noah – I played with my cars and my puppy.
Carolyne – I helped mommy bake cookies and we played together.
James – I drew letters and wrote my numbers.
Taylor – I went make believe shopping with my mom and dad.
Lauryn – I played and read with my family and cousins.As you can tell, everyone had a great time. Try a day with NO TV. You may really enjoy it!
Students in Pre-K to 5th Grade have enjoyed reading books in the library and also enjoyed reading together as a group. Kindergarten enjoyed being read to, and they liked to look at books on their own since thy were almost at the stage of reading, and those that already knew how to read, enjoyed reading on their own. One of the books we read together was, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” This story was especially appealing to them since they had caterpillars in their classrooms, and it gave them an idea of the changes to look for in their class pets.
