Northeast Elementary School in Amityville hosted its annual Mother’s Day Tea on May 3.

The gym was decorated with student artwork and a banner created by each class. Northeast Principal Dr. Pauline Collins welcomed all of the mothers to the gym as students and teachers took a moment to celebrate everything that they do. Additionally, district administrators such as Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gina Talbert and Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Joan Lange attended the celebration.

Pre-kindergarten students got dressed up and performed Mother’s Day songs for the special women in their lives. Afterwards, they sat at their decorated tables with special crafts they created to enjoy the tea, juice and cookies that were served.

On April 18, students in Ms. Nicole Gross’s class at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville wrapped up their reading and writing unit with a Publishing Party.

Northwest’s young authors were invited to share the personal narratives they had written, which they brainstormed, drafted, edited and revised over several weeks before choosing their favorite to publish. Their books were colored and bound, and students were so excited to sit in the Author Chair and share with their classmates and teachers who came to listen to them read their stories.

Students shared feedback and had a gallery walk to further examine their classmates' books before enjoying some cupcakes and juice. Additionally, students received a certificate that celebrated their published work.
