Today During Reading Workshop

How comfortable and engaged do the students look while they read? I had to share these beautiful pictures.

Book Clubs

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:
