Ms.
Slater's Class: 1-220
The students of 1-220 studied about pushcarts and peddlers
in the Lower East Side from Long Ago. Fourteen thousand
pushcart peddlers sold candy, roast corn, baked potatoes,
vegetables, hot dogs, soft drinks, clothing, pots and pans.
This is where many people shopped before the year 1938.
The City of New York then opened markets located on Essex
Street for these peddlers. They paid 25 cents a day to rent
their space long ago.

Ms.
Yee's Class: 1-302
Class 1-302 completed an integrated thematic unit entitled
"We Are Family". The unit was geared to help the
children realize that all families are different. During
the study students evaluated the importance of their own
families and individual family members. With the help of
Mr. Zilberzweig, the children created their own family tree
and a "Class Family Tree". They also wrote and
illustrated stories about their own families. |
