Copiague School District recognized and honored the 51 student-artists who had their artwork inducted into the Superintendent’s Art Gallery during a ceremony held at Copiague Middle School on June 10.

The 51 pieces of art were framed and placed on display for the audience to enjoy. Each student was presented with a certificate to acknowledge their achievement.

Each of the framed pieces is identified by a brass plate noting the student-artist’s name, grade level and year the piece was completed. Selections for the gallery seek to represent works that reflect the artists’ efforts.

Fifth graders in Ms. Jaacks’ class at Deauville Gardens East Elementary School are learning all about endangered species. As part of a recent project, the students chose one animal to research that is currently on the endangered species list. They learned about the species, why it is endangered and what they can do to help those animals. After compiling all their research, the students created a Google Slide presentation. Each student then presented their research to the class.

Second Graders Get Creative with Coding

Second graders in Ms. Sudano’s class at Deauville Gardens East Elementary School are perfecting their coding skills. They recently learned how to use OzoBlockly, a block-based editor, to create programs for their Ozobots. Ozobots are robots that are designed as an introduction to coding where students use color combinations to move the Ozobot on a path from one location to another. Ms. Sudano’s class used a track with different paths and coded directions to maneuver their Ozobots to the end.

Using OzoBlockly, the students taught their Ozobots various movements, light and sound patterns and programmed them with notes to play songs. After students became comfortable with programming the Ozobots, they used their critical thinking skills to solve various challenges to get their Ozobots to the end of the path.

Fourth Graders Unlock Math Escape Challenge

Math was the key to unlocking a recent challenge at Deauville Gardens East Elementary School. Fourth graders in Ms. Cranmer, Ms. Spizuco and Ms. Zecha’s fourth grade classes were virtually “stuck” behind seven locked doors as part of a math lesson. Following their math assessments, students put their knowledge to the test and challenged themselves to unlock different math skill escape rooms. Students were stuck behind locked doors and had to successfully unlock escape rooms focusing on geometry, numbers in base 10, fractions, algebraic expressions, and measurement and data. Each door needed to be unlocked with a unique code that can only be discovered by solving the given clues. Students needed to work together using their math language and accountable talk with their partners to unlock each door.

Kindergartners at Deauville Gardens East Elementary School are just beginning their science unit on living and nonliving things. After discussing the differences between living and nonliving objects, the students learned about what plants need to grow. They each planted their own sunflower seeds in a small pot, which they will observe over the next few weeks. The kindergartners predicted what the seeds would look like when they sprout and will record their observations in a daily journal.
