🦈 PK Students Dive into Learning About Sharks
March 6 — PK students wrapped up their shark unit with a special celebration that included a conversation with a shark biologist and a visit from seventh graders.
Students spoke with Rebecca Rogers, a shark biologist with the South Fork Natural History Museum’s (@sofomuseum) SOFO Shark Research and Education program. Ms. Rogers shared how she educates the community about shark biology and ways humans and sharks can coexist in the ocean.
“Rebecca’s expertise brought the topic to life in such a meaningful way, and the children were thrilled to ask questions and learn even more,” Mrs. Putorti said. “It was a wonderful opportunity to explore the subject from an expert’s perspective.”
Inspired to make a difference, the class also adopted a whale shark, naming it PK Owl after a class vote.

As second graders continue researching their countries of origin, we've had the honor of welcoming two more families to class to teach about Ireland and Jamaica! Students enjoyed learning about the difference between Northern Ireland and Ireland, as well as the legend of the Giant's Causeway versus the scientific explanation. Students also enjoyed learning about the deeper meanings behind the colors of the Jamaican flag, the incredible flavors in Jamaican food, and learning phrases in Patois. They also had a blast singing along to Bob Marley's “Three Little Birds.”. — Grade 2 Teachers Emma Zachary, Joanna Hepworth, Michelle Searle, and Teresa Visconti
