    • Greenvale Poets
      Mon, Oct 21, 2019, 01:09 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Green monster (in costume) with student“Blue feels like smooth flowers.” “White, like my ice cream melting as it dances in my creamy white bowl.”

      Fourth-graders at Greenvale explored words and sounds this week as they learned the art and skill to writing poetry.

      Author Ted Scheu conducted assemblies with the second and fourth-graders and then led workshops in the older students’ classrooms.

      Class working on projectScheu explained the power of poetry. “It builds stronger writers. The words are sparse. It is all about picking your words carefully and writing about something that holds meaning.”

      He said younger students often enjoy writing poetry because the rules are flexible, and the writing requires creativity.

      “I love writing poems,” said student Michael Frangipani. “You just have to put your imagination to work.”

      Students also learned about the revision process, which they can implement throughout their educational careers.

      During the workshops, Scheu read aloud poems written by other fourth-graders to reinforce the concept that if someone their age can write a poem, so could they.

      At the end of each session, students received their “Poetic License,” a bookmark with suggestions and tips to write poetry.

      The Greenvale PTA Cultural Arts Programs sponsored Sheu’s visit.

    • Internet Safety - Words Matter
      Sat, Oct 12, 2019, 10:36 AM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Class"You have the power to help people or to hurt people."

      Retired NYC Police Detective Thomas Grimes challenged eighth-graders at Eastchester Middle School to make a choice and decide whether they would utilize the internet in a positive or negative way.  

      PrincipalDet. Grimes spoke candidly about internet safety, predators and cyberbullying during an assembly on Oct. 10. The former NYPD detective formed NY Finest Speakers, a company that seeks to protect and educate young people and their parents about online safety and drug awareness.

      He explained to the EMS students that the words privacy, respect, compassion, decency and civility should regulate all online activities.

      "If you understand these words and apply them to what you do online, you understand the power to be heard worldwide," said Det. Grimes.

      Det. Grimes showed the students pictures of real people who used the internet to help police capture criminals or reunite families with lost children. He also shared photos of young people, just like themselves, who made poor choices that often led to tragic consequences.  

      Students said the presentation reaffirmed some of the things that they already knew but it also provided them with new and useful information.

      Eighth-grader Julia Naclerio said she learned about the power of a text.  "How much a text can mean to people. You should be aware and not ignore what it is written."

      Det. Grimes also addresses parents and sixth and seventh-graders in separate assemblies.

    • Bucket Fillers
      Tue, Oct 08, 2019, 01:19 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Students working on Bucket FillersAnne Hutchinson students are bucket fillers, not bucket dippers.

      Throughout September, the students wrote positive notes to each other and Lisa Cartolano's fourth-grade class placed those notes in small buckets.

      Ms. Cartolano's fourth-grade classWhen the students read them, you could see smiles on their faces. "I felt happy because it is nice tothink that everyone likes you and that people say nice things about you," said student Georgia Cesarini.

      She also discovered, "When you write a note, it brightens up someone's day."

      The entire school read the book, "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" by Carol McCloud, which focuses on the themes of giving, caring and sharing. In the story, everyone walks around with an invisible bucket that can only be filled with acts of love and kindness.

      During one recent class, students wrote more notes while listening to a song about bucket filling. "It felt good. Someone was kind," noted Nora Ademaj.

      Students in Ms. Cartolano's class read several more stories in the series. The fourth-graders also created

      their own book, where they wrote a word or phrase based on a letter of the alphabet. For example, "F" for feeling fantastic while being friendly.

      The students were surprised when they returned to school after the Anne Hutchinson Open House and found notes from their parents.

      "The concept can be carried throughout the whole year," explained Cartolano. "It is important for the students to think about the impact that they have on others and how it feels to be positive."
