As part of our Character Education Program we have been discussing our Heartwood Character Traits of RESPECT, HOPE, and LOVE. With this in mind we are now moving our students from classroom instruction and discussions to community based action. To celebrate this Holiday Season, the students of Ps373R will be hosting a food drive . The items will be delivered to a Staten Island Food Pantry by our students in January. Please help us give back to our Community!!! More to come…
The students in class X-12 celebrated Halloween by carving a jack-o-lantern and then toasting the pumpkin seeds. This project was part of their writer’s workshop procedural writing assignment for the month of October.
1. First we traced a face on our pumpkin.
2. We carefully carved the face out.
3. We took turns and pushed all the carved pieces out of the pumpkin.
4. We removed all of the pumpkin pulp.
5. We took out all of the pumpkin seeds.
6. Our pumpkin turned into a real jack-o-lantern.
6. Next we put all of the seeds into a bowl.
7. We cleaned the seeds and put them on a baking tray.
8. We spread out the seeds evenly on the tray.
9. We salted and then baked our pumpkin seeds.
10. Our class all enjoyed this tasty HALLOWEEN TREAT!!!
