1st Grade Reading

by Alexander and Sunny
Right now in first grade, we are learning about how to be a reading  hero.  Some ways to be a reading hero are to read more and more and be better at reading.  We are doing this to learn in school and to be smart and learn a lot.

2nd Grade Writing

by Anthony and Isiah
Right now, we are writing science.  When we do experiments, we write about it and look at it.  These are called lab reports.  We make observations and hypothesis.  We decided if our hypothesis was correct or incorrect.  We finish by asking questions.

Field Trips

by Gavin and Joel
Last week, first grade went to the recycling center!  We saw garbage cans, cans for recycling, and trucks.  We were so happy for the trip.  We learned how to sort cans and garbage into recycling.  Recycling is important so we can use things again and help the Earth!  Please recycle!

by Irwin and Mikey
Sometimes classes go on field trips, like swimming classes.  During school, they go to parks, restaurants, museums, zoos, and lots of different places.  The classes go to learn something new and important. 

Parent Teacher Conferences

by Christopher and Rachel
On March 1st, PS 516 had parent teacher conferences.  Teachers and parents talked about how the kids are doing in reading and writing and math.  We do this because our parent will know how good we are doing.

Cookshop

by Jeremy, Kyara, and Ysandro
Sometimes classes do Cookshop.  This is learning about vegetables and food.  It also teaches us that some vegetables could be fruits because some vegetables have seeds.  We are trying new food.  You need a bowl, plastic knives, and clean hands.  We cook!
