100 Reasons For Rocky Point Students To Celebrate

From SyntaxNY:

February 26 2020

Students in the Rocky Point School District returned from winter vacation eager to learn and to celebrate the 100th day of school. With various activities based around the number 100, it was a fun way and an educational day to get back into their daily routines of learning.

Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School first graders in Elizabeth Filippi’s class engaged in multiple activities – they used 100 Legos to build, 100 pattern blocks to create designs, 100 cups to construct towers and even designed a gumball machine with 100 dots. The students also dressed as centenarians to share in the festivities.

Fourth graders in Debbie Vieira and Lisa Celentano’s class at Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School interacted with many materials in their STEM challenge stations. The goal was to build the largest tower at each station.

“They worked together in groups and came up with some amazing towers,” Mrs. Vieira said. “They also were quite successful working collaboratively and sharing ideas. What a cool way to enjoy our 100th day!”
