F.P-Bellerose read, make promises Students learn about Dr. King

Floral Park-Bellerose School fourth graders in Mrs. Goldberg and Ms. Aiosa’s class recently read the book “I Promise” by LeBron James. The students then made promises to themselves, the school and local community.

Some promises the students made for themselves included: “I promise to read every night before bed,” “I promise to be respectful to others” and “I promise to be the best person I can be.” For their school and community promises, the fourth graders wrote “I promise to be a better friend,” “I promise to volunteer to help in my community” and “I promise to be a good helper in my classroom.”

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, John Lewis Childs School second graders in Alyssa Borg’s class learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his dream of equality.

After reading “A Picture Book of Martin Luther King Jr.” and “Martin’s Big Words,” the class shared their own dreams for the world. The students hoped for no more bullies, no animal cruelty, no homelessness, no littering and more. Each student wrote down their dreams and decorated a dream cloud as part of an “I Have a Dream” collaborative banner for the classroom.
