A Writing Celebration

Jaimie MacDonald’s fifth graders at Pulaski Street Elementary School recently concluded their second writing unit, informational writing, with a celebration with their families over Zoom. During the event, each student stood to read their piece to the Zoom audience, receiving positive feedback for their hard work. They prepared their compositions by participating in a writing process that included research, drafting and editing.

Showing Love to Seniors

Students at Pulaski Street Elementary School in the Riverhead Central School District showed local seniors love by creating hundreds of Valentine’s Day cards for seniors in Riverhead and at the Southampton Senior Center.

“The students at Pulaski really want seniors to know that they are thinking of them,” said library media specialist Amelia Estevez Creedon.

The card project was part of the school’s monthly character education initiative and linked through the school’s intergenerational library program. In the past, students connected with local seniors through storytelling projects and caroling.

Toy Trucks Lead to Learning

Pulaski Street Elementary School sixth grade students have been expanding their math and science knowledge as part of an interdisciplinary STEM program that was made possible through a grant from the Hess Corporation and Baylor College of Medicine.

School librarian Amelia Estevez Creedon secured the grant, which provided 12 Hess trucks that students are using to perform a variety of STEM-based experiments. Students are also researching simple machines using nonfiction texts and virtual resources such as e-books and videos.

“The program is a wonderful example of how children can learn through play,” said Estevez Creedon. “It’s great to see the kids laugh and enjoy the materials while simultaneously learning difficult concepts.”

Influencing change

Following a lesson on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Danna Carrillo’s fifth grade class at Pulaski Street Elementary School brainstormed ways to influence change within their community.

The students considered a range of influences, from Black Lives Matters to rules regarding technology, after conducting research using news articles from Newsela and videos on Flocabulary. Their finished writings are on display in the school’s hallway.

Jingle all the Way

To spread holiday cheer to their classmates, Pulaski Street Elementary School musicians spent the day before holiday break performing “Jingle Bells” for their peers during each lunch period.
