Around A-S

AS SEEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA...

Third-grade students are nearly done with their exciting math investigation! This week, boys ventured throughout the school, seeking information from various staff and faculty members (many of us received wonderful visitors!). Students collected data, including people's birth year and how many years they’d worked at Allen-Stevenson.

Practicing their subtraction skills, boys used an open number line to calculate faculty and staff members' ages.

This project is a work in progress, with a big reveal planned before Thanksgiving break! We look forward to seeing the A-S family timeline in the hallways very soon!

Mr. Jesús Parra's sixth-grade Spanish class is learning the subtleties of conjugating the verbs "Ser," and "Estar."

Mr. Parra and the Spanish team created an exciting scavenger hunt for the boys where they had to find prompts and complete them with the correct verb and tense. The first group to successfully complete the scavenger hunt wins— both the competition, but also the ability to conjugate these tricky verbs!

Allen-Stevenson's faculty are always tapping into innovative ways to engage our boys and bring learning to life.

Can you complete the sentence, Señor Divan ___ maestro muy talentoso de ciencias?

As part of the Billion Oyster Project (BOP), Allen-Stevenson fifth-grade Science & Engineering students were back at the East 90th Street Ferry Landing with Ms. Katie Donahue and Ms. Lynda Rivers.

The boys evaluated water quality, measured oysters, identified the ecosystem’s fauna and flora, and continued to collect data for Allen-Stevenson’s oyster cage. The A-S Science & Engineering curriculum is literally embedded in the local community, and students apply their efforts to solving real-world challenges.

After reading From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by e.l. konigsburg, Ms. Lindsay Litinger's fourthgrade students visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art with Art Teacher Ms. Julia Kunin as their guide!

The boys embarked on a scavenger hunt for the places and artwork featured in the story bringing an already exciting work of fiction to life!

Upon their first visit to the library, each boy was invited to take out a book and choose a "stuffy" reading partner.

Stuffed animals prove to be good listeners. Boys love to read… and we encourage them in many creative ways!

The bounty of coats, hats and mittens so generously donated by the Allen-Stevenson community became an opportunity for the first graders to learn how they can get involved in service learning. The boys worked together to sort and count the clothing items before they were sent to P.S. 83.

The count: 62 coats, 145 hats, 13 scarves and 74 pairs of gloves & mittens! Thank you to everyone who donated to the drive!
