Fifth grade students from across the district in the C-Quest Enrichment Program chose a word that either defined them or chose a word to set a goal for the year. After choosing their one word, they explored the outdoors, looking for the letters in their word. Using iPads, they photographed the letters then edited, enhanced through filtering, cropped and uploaded them to Google Slides. The slides were then printed, and the letters were cut out and put onto a poster, spelling their word in their environmental print! During their poetry unit, students wrote a free verse poem using their word in their poem.

To start off a unit about structures, fourth graders across the district in the C-Quest Enrichment Program studied the Fire Island Lighthouse. Students visited the lighthouse on a field trip, climbing the tower of 182 steps up and down. They also went on a nature walk to learn about the area, saw the Fresnel lens and participated in a United States Lifesaving Service presentation. Afterwards, students created non-fiction, informational posters summarizing what they learned on their visit. They also took part in a culminating activity on electrical energy, building a model of the lighthouse which included a working electrical circuit.

The Connetquot Central School District is dedicated to helping our students develop strong emotional and social skills through Emotional Awareness and Social Learning (EASL). EASL helps students understand and manage their emotions, set goals, build self-awareness, improve relationships, and make responsible decisions. To support this effort, Connetquot is focusing on monthly themes that teach social and emotional awareness. For December, our theme is “Citizenship: Acts of Giving”—encouraging students to practice kindness and community involvement. We also recognize students who show leadership in these areas. Each month, our schools will nominate students to be featured as Connetquot’s Caring Leaders. These students will receive a certificate and have their framed photo displayed on the Kindness Wall of Fame at Student Services. Congratulations to our December Caring Leaders: Roman Bradley (Gr. 8, Ronkonkoma Middle School) Makayla Dowd (Gr. K, Duffield) Dylan Getty (Gr. 5, Idle Hour) Francis Pipino (Gr. K, Bosti) Parissa Rana (Gr. 10, Connetquot High School) Gabrielle Takacs (Gr. 4, Sycamore Avenue) Alesa Wilson (Gr.8, Ronkonkoma Middle School)
