Ms.
Torre's Class: 3-228
Class 3-228 created three models of a strip on Delancey
Street (between Norfolk & Suffolk). The models show
what was there on the block in 1983, 1993, and now in 2003. |
Ms.
Rosen's Class: 3-328
Class 3-328 learned about their community by interviewing
business people on Essex Street between Stanton and Rivington
Streets. First children learned about the interview process
by interviewing each other. Then they practiced by interviewing
an adult at home. Next, they helped to create interview
questions and working in cooperative groups they interviewed
som business people on Essex Street. Finally, each group
focused on the physical and architectural aspects of their
assigned business. Using geometric and design concepts,
they sketched and drew the facades of their buildings and
created detailed collages of their storefronts.

Ms.
Bertoni's Class: 3-224
Students visited three firehouses
and took notes on the history of each firehouse. They put
their findings into a PowerPoint presentation. |
Ms.
Hadlock's Class: 3-308
Class 3-308 made a stencil and used it to produce a floorcloth.
Floorcloths were used in colonial times because woolen rugs
were too expensive (they came from England, France, or Turkey).
They were also perishable (would be eaten by bugs or moths)
as there was no treatment or bug repellant.
As part of their Native American study, Ms. Hadlock's class
visited the Native American Museum. Click here
