News and Updates Fairies and Gnomes Garden Party & Workshop by Alina Calovic On October 13, the PTA Green Team organized a Fairies and Gnomes Garden Party to have families help winterize the front yard garden. The event was held on a sunny Friday afternoon following student pickup from 2:30-4:30. It was a tremendous success as we reached maximum capacity! Parents and children enjoyed apple cider, apple cider donuts, and fresh apples. Children had their pick of fairy wings, crowns, gnome hats and beards.
Upcoming Eco-Events:
Sun, November 5, 9a-12p Pumpkin Smash at Carroll Gardens Greenmarket. Bring your pumpkins, jacko-lanterns and gourds to Pumpkin Smash events throughout NYC. They'll be turned into compost to revitalize our soil! on.nyc.gov/dropfoodscraps
Ms. Hahn’s 1st Graders were able to utilize our brand new mini microscopes to examine closely various types of seeds. Enduring Understanding: A natural environment is healthier with a diversity of plants; a human environment is healthier with a diversity of people.
Monday, November 27, 2:45-3:45p Parent Green Team Meeting @STEM Lab Rm 102. Hear updates on monthly events by “affinity groups.”
Green STEM Afterschool Club On Monday, October 23, Green STEM Afterschool kids were invited to attend the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Greenpoint branch of the Brooklyn Public Library! With the tremendous help of our PS 34 families, we cleaned up the garden by pulling weeds, putting down mulch, adding fresh topsoil to the flower beds, and repinned landscape fabric. Thank you to all those who participated. We hope you can join us for the next event! 1st Graders Explores Diversity through Seeds in Green STEM Class by Tina Wong Autumn is a great time to explore the seeds from the plants in our garden.
They were so excited to meet and chat with engineers, designers, architects, builders and local politicians.
