The March 27 Board of Education meeting was truly inspiring thanks to the incredible second-grade students and staff from Mohansic. We were blown away as the students showcased the skills they learned through their recent writing and ESTEAM unit.
During their presentation, students shared the significance of letter-writing in improving conversational, social, and handwriting skills, highlighting the fact that it's still an essential skill even in this digital age. They emphasized the various types of letters, including "thank you" notes, invitations, or opinion-sharing letters.
The students talked about how they read several books, shared their opinions on their favorite characters and stories, and then voted for their top picks. This experience helped them understand how to write persuasive arguments supported by evidence.
The students were also actively involved in the PTA-sponsored Wee Deliver program, which provided them with opportunities to write and deliver letters. Earlier this year, the students applied to work at the Mohansic Post Office and were interviewed by parent volunteers.
Please join us in giving a round of applause to the exceptional staff and students at Mohansic for their outstanding work on this project!
