PS 111Q Trip to Citi Field

 
 
 
 

Yesterday's trip to the new ball park was a resounding success. Grades 3 through 8 attended the Weather Day festivities lead by Mr. G of radio fame. With beautiful weather and an easy transit via the F and 7 trains, we left to return to school at the eighth inning only to discover later on in the evening, that, once again, the Mets snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The final score, Mets 3 Florida Marlins 4. At least we all had a good time in the new park.

Kenn at KenKen Exhibit at the NCTM

 

Here are some photos taken at the KenKen exhibitor's booth during the NCTM Conference in Washington, D.C. held last week from April 22-25th, 2009. If you want to learn more about KenKen, I suggest that you check out their website. Currently, the website is inaccessible from a school computer. The filter needs to be changed to allow students and school personnel access to this incredibly addictive math resoure.

The conference was excellent.

Hi Folks,

Here is Papi Chulo doing a demo for me in which he is illustrating one of my many options when I retire. I must say, on days when the sun shines through the window as it is doing here, I am less inclined to follow this option. A park or the beach seems like a more appropriate venue to spend such a day. However, it is nice to know that, even on a sunny day, I can relax and take a cat nap a la Papi Chulo!

Viva La Vida

I removed the Teacher Tube video if you have been here before. It played each time I opened the blog and if it annoyed me, I am sure you would have felt the same way. But atleast I learned how to delete it.

PS 22 Chorus Sings Coldplay's Viva La Vida

Hi Everyone,

I hope you will be able to view this. I found it while on Facebook. One of my contacts had it there and I thought you would appreciate it. When you click on the hotlink it will take you to the PS 22 Chorus's blog where you can view many of their videos. Being a fan of Coldplay, I particularly enjoyed their rendition of Viva La Vida. I could not view it full page and had to content myself to watch it on the small screen. If you go directly to the teacher tube site and search for the video it will play full screen.

This is work that demonstrates the best of our school system.

21st Century Tech Study Group

I was very pleased with the content of yesterday's workshop at the Queens UFT and have spent some time creating new pages in my pbWiki practicing the skills we learned.

I was able to import URLs, .pdf files and photographs. I look forward to learning additional skills when we reconvene on the 20th of this month. Happy Passover and Easter to all celebrants looking at this before the holidays!
