Grade 3-5 students in the PS 115 baseball program had a blast last Saturday! Team members from the Chaminade High School Varsity Baseball Team, from Long Island, came to our school and hosted a baseball clinic. Our students had the chance to do some training, catching, throwing, and batting, and had a great time doing it. We are so grateful to the Chaminade team for their visit and time!

Last week, PS 115 and its 2nd grade classes welcomed author Kaija Langley for an inspiring visit! She read us her award-winning book, "When Langston Dances," and students got to ask her questions about the book and about being an author. Each student also got to take home a signed copy of the book! Thank you Kaija Langley, and Lambda Literary's Writers in Schools program, for making the visit possible!

Kids are never too young to a enjoy a book and fall in love with reading! This week, in the Library, Class K-001 learned how to "read" a book by looking at the pictures and making up their own stories! And they especially loved doing it with their stuffed animal "reading buddies." ❤️📚

In the STEAM Lab, 5th Grade students have been developing their coding skills programming Dash Robots to complete a maze with coding tasks (including creating a turkey “gobble google” sound for Thanksgiving). Student teams needed to not only sequence code blocks, but to also use distance and angle measurements to complete the task.
