Junior Achievement-Grade 2

Today, second grade classes participated in a Junior Achievement program.  Junior Achievement is a global not-for-profit organization supported by businesses, foundations, government and individuals. JA’s purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. This is accomplished through the dedication of volunteers from businesses and the community, who volunteer their time to teach the JA programs.

Volunteers from JP Morgan Chase and Suffolk County National Bank were in all the second grade classrooms teaching our students about “Our Community." The volunteers were trained by JA staff and this program ties in with our second grade social studies curriculum. 

Fall Festivals

We enjoyed having parents join us today for our annual fall festivals.

We love art!

Here are some photos of our artists at South Street. They are learning so much with Mrs. Massimo!

Author Visit

We had a visit from author Valerie Pfundstein, who wrote the book, Veterans: Heroes in our Neighborhood. Mrs. Pfundstein explained how she used heroes in her own life as the characters in her story. She engaged the children with stories of the veterans she knows and then taught the children how important it is to be thankful for their service to our country. Mrs. Pfundstein concluded each assembly by teaching the children a "thank you" song in sign language.

A Visit From Josie's Dad

Mrs. Liberti's second grade class was honored to host a visit from Josie's dad, a local veterinarian. When Dr. Shuman learned that the second graders were reading about animals, as part of their Journeys unit, he volunteered to talk to his daughter's class. He explained how to keep pets healthy, showed some skeletal models, and reviewed animal x-rays with the children. Did you know that there are special band-aids just for animals? Take a look...

Read for the Record

Jumpstart’s Read for the Record is an annual campaign to raise awareness for the importance of early childhood literacy by setting a new world record for the largest shared reading. This year's book was Bunny Cakes by Rosemary Wells. At South Street School, we celebrated last night by reading the book and engaging in bunny-related crafts. Parents and children even had a chance to meet the bunny siblings, Max and Ruby, thanks to the Long Island Livestock Company.
