Wednesday  January 16

 

We have lots of lids for making our recycled map of Winfield!  Ms. Lardiari has a science experiment for the 8th grade to dye cotton balls with natural dyes for the enrichment students to use with their mask.  Today was all about writing and the scripts are coming along.  The 7th grade is finished with the interviews and we are very close to having a first reading of each of the plays.

Tuesday January 8

 

The students are all ready to start the enrichment after school with Ms. Razza.  They will be making masks and an aerial map of Winfield Park out of lids.  The 6th and 8th grades started writing dialogue for their plays while the 7th graders go down to some serious interviewing of the keepers of the Winfield commons. Chief Berg and Ex-Mayor Wright were interviewed and both talked movingly about 9/11 and what the town contributed and how the town was protected.  Ms. Dickert was also interviewed about her father Frank and both she and Mr.Wright brought in lots of photographs.  Mrs. Bakazan started getting calls from people who wanted to come in and talk with the children.  There will be more interviews on Friday February 10.
