  • Project Based Learning Supplies - P.S. 135Q STILE 3.0

    Funded Oct 12, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donations. Because of your donations, our class was able to receive markers and crayons needed for craftivities and art projects we designed and worked on in class. We were able to first utilize it during our PBL unit where we created models of floats used during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. Our "floats" were made up of boxes which we transformed into displays depicting the three branches of our government. The markers and crayons helped to make our designs come into life as it helped to create colorful displays of art.

    Our class hopes to continue to use these supplies for future projects and art displays in our class for the next couple of months. Again, we thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Hernandez

  • We Love BIG BOOKS and We Cannot Lie!

    Funded Feb 28, 2019

    Sharing stories, talking and singing every day helps your child's development in lots of ways.

    Reading and sharing stories can:

    help your child get to know sounds, words and language, and develop early literacy skills

    learn to value books and stories

    spark your child's imagination and stimulate curiosity

    help your child's brain, social skills and communication skills develop

    help your child learn the difference between 'real' and 'make-believe'

    help your child understand change and new or frightening events, and also the strong emotions that can go along with them.

    Sharing stories with your child doesn't mean you have to read.

    Just by looking at books with your child, you can be a great storyteller and a good model for using language and books. Your child will learn by watching you hold a book the right way and seeing how you move through the book by gently turning the pages.

    Reading stories with children has benefits for grown-ups too. The special time you spend reading together promotes bonding and helps to build your relationship.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Hernandez

I once read, "There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot in Treasure Island." This quote did not have much meaning to me growing up. I thought to myself, "How could that be? money can buy you everything!" Little did I know, that sentiment is false. Growing up, I was not much of a reader. The books I was forced to read were dry and boring and were mainly books used for school projects. Until one day, I picked up a book about Greek gods and myths and oh man! I was hooked! Learning about Zeus and all the other gods and goddesses enabled me to imagine and fantasize life in various colors. My newfound love for reading opened up different worlds I can escape to. This feeling of wonder is exactly what I want for my students. Exposure to books is the first step. If students are exposed to more and more books, they will one day find that one special book that grabs, and hooks them.
