Connetquot Champions The board of education meeting on Dec. 10 was full of Connetquot spirit as two teams were recognized for impressive accomplishments in their respective areas. The Connetquot High School girls volleyball team won their third New York State Championship title in five years and the varsity cheerleading team was named the UCA Regional Champions.

Girls volleyball coach Justin Hertz and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lynda G. Adams started off the evening by presenting certificates of recognition to each of the players. Multiple elected officials were also in attendance to present the team with proclamations recognizing their commitment and performance, including New York State senators Phil Boyle and Monica R. Martinez and Suffolk County legislators Tom Cilmi and William Lindsay.

In addition, Julia Patsos, a senior co-captain on the team, was acknowledged as a News 12 Scholar Athlete and received a $1,000 scholarship in recognition of her impressive performance on and off the court.

Varsity cheerleading coach Kelly Unterweiser rounded out the evening when she proudly presented her team with certificates of recognition for being named the UCA Regional Champions. The cheerleading team is now eligible to compete in the UCA Nationals in February 2020.

Through lessons with Ms. Pisani, the students are learning that eating healthy foods can help to prevent and revers disease and that plant foods are the matrix for cells to grow healthy.

Following each harvest, the students are treated to a “salad party” in class where they get to taste

test the different items grown and even take some home to share with their families. Prior to this year, the tower garden was used in fifth and third grade.

“Our long-term goal would be to have in Tower in every classroom,” said Ms. Pisani. “In addition, we will make our courtyard a green grow space where we can grow additional vegetables in the warmer months and donate to the Duffield Community.”

Fifth Grader Wins Scholastic Writing Contest Edward J. Bosti Elementary School fifth grader Brooke Bartell has been named a winner of the Storyworks “Goose Content” sponsored by Scholastic.

Brooke entered the 2019 contest by responding to the question of what she thought would happen in the read-aloud play/ fable “The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg” if the main characters had

learned their lesson before destroying the goose.

She was challenged to rewrite the last scene of the story, showing what the characters realized and what actions they took instead.

“We loved your thoughtful revision of the scene regarding the changes the Boyds made if they had learned their lesson,” said Lauren

Tarshis, editor-in-chief, in a letter to Brooke. “You included stage directions, appropriate emotion and realistic dialogue. We especially enjoyed your strong closing and positive message.”

As a winner, Brooke received a copy of “Where the Mountain Meets the Moon” by Grace Lin.

Circle Of Dance Showcases Students’ New Skills

First grade students at Merrimac Elementary School in the Sachem Central School District recently performed several choreographed dances for an audience of family and friends as part of the Circle

of Dance program.

During the program, students learned essential dance skills, such as balance, coordination and flexibility, while memorizing each of their individualized dance routines.

Working together through eight practice sessions, students also learned the importance of teamwork and collaboration while working to perfect their routines.

Photo courtesy of the Connetquot Central School Sports and Entertainment District Management classes recently attended a field trip to MetLife Stadium to gain expert insight from business executives and learn the history of the sports venue.

As part of the immersive experience, students learned many real-life elements of marketing and management, beginning with MetLife’s sponsorship deals with Pepsi and Ver-

izon. They then learned how the franchises did their advertising and publicity from the 1920s and how it has evolved for today’s market. Students also learned how the stadium was designed and constructed, including how they convert the stadium from the Giants to Jets between games. Additionally, tour guides shared in-depth information on professional sports, college-level sports, hosting special events such as the

Super Bowl, and revenue MetLife generates from hosting lavish weddings, bar mitzvahs, sweet 16s and other private events.

As the tour progressed, students visited key areas of the stadium, including different types of clubs and suites available to ticket holders, the planning room for Super Bowl XLVIII, the outside of the New York Giant’s locker room and the sidelines of the field.

Celebrating Coding Week Connetquot Central School District elementary students worked to enhance their coding skills as they celebrated Computer Science Week in early December.

At Idle Hour, fifth grade students worked with Computer Science and Engineering teacher Patrick Brennan to write code for controlled movements using the kidOYO hatch program while first graders completed an unplugged activity, discussing movement codes by walking through a life-size maze designed based on the book “Rosie’s Walk”.

They then had the chance to code Beebot robots through a smaller-scaled maze. The project not only touched upon the computer science skills they were learning, but

also reinforced key English Language Arts terms as they were asked to use the correct preposition to describe their movements.

At Slocum, third grade students worked with Jill Ferraro to discuss introductory blocky code and then used a program called maze code in kidOYO to create their own code. Students at the district’s other elementary schools also engaged in similar activities.

The celebration week was not the first-time Connetquot students had a chance to take part in such activities, as the district’s curriculum includes computer science and engineering activities as part of its innovation lab initiative. This project enables K-5 students to work with a dedicated computer science and

engineering teacher on a rotating basis and up to 18 sessions throughout the year.

Within the labs, activities vary based on grade level, with K-2 primarily being unplugged and grades 3-5 being plugged activities that scaffold based on skill, but all promote critical thinking, reasoning and problem solving. Teachers use various devices, such as Legos, Ozobots, Beebots, maze code and, new this year, kibo robots, to provide the content rich tradition.

The district was on the forefront of introducing this type of robust program at the elementary level, as it is anticipated that New York State will be adopting new computer science standards for grades K-12 in the near future.

Longwood Middle School fifth-grade teacher Jennifer Cook has been named the Long Island Nets Teacher of the Month for her excellence in the classroom, commitment to education and the community, leadership abilities, and dedication to students.

Nominated by fifthgrade teacher Michael Felicetta, Mrs. Cook was

recently recognized during a basketball game at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Mr. Felicetta stated that Mrs. Cook is the type of teacher that inspires others and is pleased to nominate her for the Teacher of the Month Award.

“Mrs. Cook thinks that the magic she creates in the classroom is just part of her everyday job,” said Mr.

15

“Teacher Of The Month” Felicetta. “Her work ethic and desire to help every kid is contagious. She embodies what it means to be the utmost professional and role model for all of our students.”

The Long Island Nets have partnered with Delta Air Lines to launch the Teacher of the Month awards to teachers across both Nassau and Suffolk counties.

LOGUERCIO WELCOMES SANTA CLAUS - Recently, children of all ages came to meet jolly Saint Nick during the Town’s annual “Santa Comes to Longwood Estate” celebration. This fun-filled, family event included sleigh rides and pony rides, hot chocolate, roasted chestnuts, popcorn and a visit with Santa and his “Chief Elf,” Councilman Loguercio (left). Guests also enjoyed the “winter wonderland” inspired model train display with a spectacular Disney World feature for all to enjoy. Councilman Loguercio said, “This was a beautiful day filled with fun and the holiday spirit. Thank you to the Town of Brookhaven Parks Department for all their hard work to make this a magical day for so many children and their families. A very special ‘thank you’ to Santa Claus, (Brian Brooks, Commissioner of the Ridge Fire Department) for taking the time to meet, greet and read all the letters from the children who stopped in to visit.” To learn more about the Town of Brookhaven’s historic Longwood Estate, visit www.BrookhavenNY.gov.

Classrooms have come a long way since the days when pioneering settlers would send their children to single-room schoolhouses.

Modern classrooms might be technical marvels, but one less flashy learning tool remains as valuable as ever.

Newspapers might not be as glamorous as tablets or other gadgets, but they are still an invaluable resource to educators and students.

The following are seven ways in which newspapers in the classroom can benefit students.

1. Newspapers build vocabulary.

Numerous studies have found that reading can improve youngsters’ vocabulary.

Each day, newspapers are

filled with fresh stories that can introduce kids to new words, helping them to strengthen their vocabularies and make them more effective communicators.

2. Newspapers improve reading skills. Like the old adage says, “Practice makes perfect.” Reading newspapers each day can help kids develop their reading and comprehension skills.

3. Newspapers promote critical thinking.

Newspaper reporters are trained to objectively report the news, sharing facts without allowing their own opinions to influence their stories.

Educators can choose stories from the newspaper

to serve as catalysts for discussions that focus not just on the facts listed in the story, but what might be behind them.

Such discussions can help youngsters develop their critical thinking skills.

4. Newspapers bring ideas and current events to life. Many children are aware of major world events, even if they don’t know or understand the details. Newspaper articles about world events can be used as avenues to discussions about what’s going on in the world.

5. Newspapers build global awareness.

7 Ways Newspapers Benefit Students

Continued From 15 media outlets can make it hard for young people to recognize and understand the world beyond their own communities and interests.

Each days, newspapers include local, national and international stories that can illustrate to kids that there’s a world beyond their own.

6. Newspapers promote social consciousness.

Without newspapers, young people may never be exposed to the social issues facing their own communities or those issues that are affecting people across the country and the world. Newspapers provide unbiased exposure to such issues, potentially

leading youngsters to further explore topics that are shaping their world and even encouraging them to form their own opinions.

7. Newspapers make learning fun. According to a 2017 report from Common Sense Media, kids younger than eight spend an average of two hours and 19 minutes per day looking at screens.

Newspapers provide a welcome break from tablets, smartphones and computers, and kids may have fun flipping pages and getting a little ink on their hands.

Newspapers remain invaluable resources that can benefit students in myriad ways.

Tackling Depression Can Lead To A Happier New Year (NAPSI)—As cheerful and joyous as the New Year can be, it can also be a trigger for stress and depression for some people—but there is hope.

There are many resources for people who feel wrung out ringing in the New Year.

For example, Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) can help. MFTs are licensed mental health professionals who work with individuals, couples (married or not), families of all types, and groups to cure or relieve mental, emotional and relational concerns of all kinds.

How To Recognize Depression To help you tell if you or someone you care

about is suffering from depression, the experts at the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) offer these warning signs: • Feeling sad and/or irritable • Changes in weight or appetite • Difficulty sleeping • Feelings of guilt, hopelessness or worthlessness • Inability to concentrate, remember things or make decisions • Thoughts of death or suicide.

How To Handle Depression If these symptoms look familiar, here are some things to do right now: • Recognize depression

early. Depression can happen to anyone.

It’s not a character defect, a weakness or a shameful condition.

It’s a serious disorder that no one is immune to.

• Engage in your life.

If you are depressed, you may feel like you don’t have an ounce of energy or motivation to tackle depression.

Recovery, however, requires your active participation.

Be willing to take the first step, even though it’s not easy.

• Build your skills. Learn why you’re vulnerable to depression and specific ways to

become more resilient by breaking unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior. Developing good coping and relationship skills can reduce both the frequency and severity of depression episodes.

• Find the right therapist.

Talking through one’s stressors and understanding the underlying causes is a proven way to effectively treat depression.

Look for therapists with training and experience in treating depression, as well as someone who is

(NAPSI)—A few simple steps, when it comes to ladders, could save 300 lives a year, according to the World Health Organization. In addition, 164,000 emergency room treatments could be avoided.

The Problem The number of ladderrelated injuries in the United Sates increased by more than 50 percent in 15 years, says a study in an issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Avoid Accidents

These tips from the Consumer Product Safety Commission can help prevent you from becoming such a statistic: • Always level the ladder on firm ground.

• Have someone hold the lower end.

• Keep ladders away from doors that can be opened.

• Only one person on a ladder.

• Don’t stand on the top rung.

An Answer Many ladder accidents are related

to gutter cleaning and maintenance.

It’s a hazard homeowners face several times every year.

A good way to eliminate it is to get rid of your gutters and install the time-tested Rainhandler (rainhandler.com) Rain Dispersal system. Because of a patented louver design these gutters cannot collect leaves or debris and require no cleaning or maintenance.

You may never have to climb a dangerous ladder to clean gutters again.
