My Students

Our school is on a mission to achieve excellence in education by developing a community of lifelong learners made up of students, family and staff. To achieve this goal we are working collaboratively to explore effective teaching and learning strategies. We wish to create a total learning environment that helps children develop positive attitudes, values and self-esteem, while establishing a school environment that is safe, friendly, caring and cooperative.

Our school is a K-5 elementary school located in Bayside, Queens.

At our school, we enjoy a strong community feeling and a warm, nurturing environment. The emotional and academic well-being of our students is always paramount. Children are encouraged to explore, achieve and excel. They are provided with a high level of instruction so that they can meet or exceed common core learning standards. We seek to instill a love for lifelong learning. We also enjoy strong collaborative relationships with parents. Whether it is through a donation of time or money, attendance at an event, PTA involvement or other, our parent body is about as outstanding and supportive as a school could hope for.

My Project

We intend for our elementary scientists to utilize these materials in the makerspace area in the science classroom to play with, create models, design and build, experiment with and invent things that show their understanding of science concepts. Scientists need a creative space to foster their tinkering of ideas and we will be able to provide them with your help. Please help them by funding our supplies list so that our young scientists can start exploring.

The concepts that our young scientists will be able to explore are living and non-living things, diversity in animals, properties of matter, forces and motion, energy, electricity and magnetism, and simple machines.
