Week of Respect

Students and staff celebrated the Week of R-E-S-P-E-C-T with tag days like "Sock it to Bullying" and "Upstanding Heroes". Our guidance counselor, Mr. Sigler, taught students lessons on how to respect others, our school, our community, and ourselves. A Cyber-Bullying Assembly was held as well focusing on how to prevent harassment, intimidation, and bullying situations online. Here at CFB, PS 16 we all strive to be compassionate, thoughtful, and caring people in and outside of school!

NJ CAP visit:

"New Jersey Child Assault Prevention (NJ CAP) is a statewide community based prevention program. With a motto “All Children Deserve to be Safe, Strong and Free” ®, the CAP program seeks to reduce children’s vulnerability to abuse, neglect and bullying by providing comprehensive prevention workshops for children, parent and school staff."

Classroom workshops were facilitated by three CAP facilitators. Using roleplay and guided group discussion, the classroom workshop trained children to recognize potentially dangerous situations, and to make effective use of the options available to them when dealing with such a situation. CAP emphasizes self assertion, peer support and communication with a trusted adult as prevention strategies.

Students in Mrs. Gauch's second grade class learned all about the Day of the Dead, Dia De Los Muertos. This lively Mexican celebration helps families honor their ancestors.

Students then colored their own masks! During celebrations, people wore costumes and used caretas, or masks, to scare the dead away at the end of the festivities.

“Somos Uno, Somos Todos:

We Are All, We Are One.”

Our 5th grade students worked collaboratively on a Hispanic Heritage month project, researching different important figures in the areas of Math, Science, Language Arts and Social Studies.

Ms. Stevens' 3rd graders also joined in decorating their door for Hispanic Heritage month!

On Thursday, October 12th, a first grade class had a wonderful parent presentation about National Children’s Day, celebrated in Brazil

They enjoyed learning about diversity and to take pride in their own cultural heritage. They sang songs, played a jump rope game, and had the opportunity to ask the parents questions.

Ms. Cheatham's 1st graders!

On Friday, October 13th, room 107A had a great parent presentation about Columbia and Hispanic Heritage Month.

To wrap up Hispanic Heritage month, students were gifted their favorite picture books en español...

Students in Ms. Isoldi’s Kinder class learned about Fire Safety, and created a writing craft on how to follow fire safety rules as part of a Health lesson.

Fourth grade students have been learning about earth processes and features. They analyzed data of volcanic eruptions around the world and then mapped the volcanic eruptions to find a pattern.

In fifth grade Benchmark Unit 1 is all about "CORN" (the structure, future crops, science of growing corn, etc.)

What better way to demonstrate our knowledge about this special plant, then to sing and dance!!!!
