Better Late Than Never:

What a wonderful school year class 302 had. It was so great that it took the night before a new school year begins to finally acknowledge it was over and post a farewell.

Many thanks to all of the parents that made the school year a success with their continued kindness and support as well as to the incredible students of the class who made this year unforgettable with their brilliance, humor and sensitivity. Please keep in touch always.

Here are some pictures and a video from Field Day-

Let's Go Mets!

Visiting Shea Stadium and seeing the Mets play was a great experience. Everyone had an extremely enjoyable time.

Going to the Seaport (videos included)

We had such a wondeful time visiting the South Street Seaport. For many of us, it was the first time we went on a ship.

On the ship we were able to observe a variety of living organisms. Thanks to our fabulous tour guide, we learned a lot about life under water.

This is the ship we went on:


Here are some more pictures from our trip:




This is a video of what it was like on the boat:

While we were eating lunch, a school band was playing music outside. Here is a fabulous video of Ramon and Ariel dancing to the music:

Spring Break Sweets

I love to bake and I especially love to bake for our class. Wishing the class a "sweet spring break" we ended the day before vacation with a little cake and conversation.
