On Friday, Ms. Benasaraf hosted the district’s first “Pick Your Own” Farmers Market at 396K @ 181.
“I wanted to share some pictures from our farmer’s market that took place during today’s gallery walk! Students and parents who visited the room had opportunities to pick tomatoes, herbs, and lettuce directly off our towers to taste and to bring home in provided bags!”
Teachers at the Math in the Garden PD investigated tree pits and a local playground for patterns, shapes, and measurement. They found math all around us!
754X J.M. Rapport School in the Bronx is the first D75 school to open an FFA chapter in NYC! Mr. Masefields’s students run a small farm with hydroponics, aquaponics, chickens, tilapia shrimp, and an outdoor garden, and they visit local farms and botanical gardens each month.
This school in Queens uses hi-tech growing containers to grow their own.
Students in 811Q prepared to check the pH balance of water in their vertical tower gardens.
Thank you Mr. Dean.
Ms. Macaluso’s students at 255Q are putting their tower garden to work! Check out this photo they shared of their latest crop.
177Q submitted their curriculum, aptly named “The Right Stuff,” to the Grow NY competition. They shared their experience of traveling to Ithaca overnight to present their work:
“Class Y24 of P 177Q developed a curriculum that would help farmers and the agricultural community to keep and hire young adults with disabilities. Out of 30 teams in NY state, we placed in the top eight. Plus we were the only NYC public school invited to compete in Ithaca and the only students with disabilities to present. We made an infomercial and spoke for 5 minutes both verbally and using our ACC devices. It was like shark tank for students.”
