SUBJECT FOCUS
ELA
Thank you, thank you, thank you to ALL of our amazing ELA teachers who have worked so hard to prepare our students for the NYS ELA Exam. Your effort and dedication is appreciated. Not all heroes wear capes!
Grade 6
This past month, our sixth graders worked diligently to prepare for the ELA state test. We are proud of the work that they put in and the effort they showed during the test. Great job! We are now continuing our unit "Surviving the Unthinkable" in which we read a series of fictional and nonfictional texts that focus on stories of survival. Students will analyze each text to answer the essential question, "What does it mean to be a survivor?" Texts will include A Long Walk to Water and "Into the Lifeboat" from Titanic Survivor. The unit will conclude with an explanatory essay on the themes of these texts.
Grade 7
The seventh graders worked very hard this past month on state test preparation. We also completed our unit on space exploration with an argumentative essay on the question, "Is space exploration a dangerous risk or a daring adventure?". Students used the texts that we have read throughout the unit to develop a claim, reasoning, and a counterclaim. Now that the state test is over, seventh grade students will be starting the new unit called Game Changers in which students will explore the essential question, "How do games impact our lives?" We will be reading a variety of texts that address this question.
Grade 8
In the month of May, students will be embarking on their new unit “Finding Your Path” and all of its required components. In this Unit they will thoroughly explore the essential question “HOW DO THE CHALLENGES YOU FACE TODAY HELP TO SHAPE YOUR FUTURE?”
Students will explore multiple texts of both Fiction and Non Fiction texts including:
“Bronx Masquerade” by Nikki Grimes
‘The Debt We Owe to the Adolescent Brain” by Jeanne Miller
“Hanging Fire” Poem by Audre Lorde
“Summer of His Fourteenth Year” Poem by Gloria Amescua
In culmination, they will focus their skills towards the final writing piece by making text to self connections and activating prior knowledge in order to address the connection to teen life.
They will apply all steps of the writing process:
Analyzing text
Gathering information
Conferencing with peers
Drafting
Peer Editing
Editing
Publishing
WORLD LANGUAGE
French - Grade 8
In May, Sage Scholars of French will work on the Au cinéma project requiring them to create their own film script and present it to the class. Students with a more accelerated level can create an actual mini script while those in need of more practice, will simulate an activity of going to watch the film. Most of the month will focus on the review and practice of Proficiency Exam tasks, including communication, listening, reading, writing and culture. Please note that starting May 9th, students will be assessed on Part I of the Proficiency Examination. Part I includes three tasks, each worth 10 points towards the total score of the examination-two interpersonal and one presentational.
Spanish - Grade 8
Spanish - Grade 8
During the month of May our 8th grade teachers will begin to test our 8th graders for the Formal Speaking part of the Spanish Proficiency Exam. Students will be tested on 4 different formal conversations; socializing, proving and obtaining information, expressing feelings and opinions, and persuasion. Our teachers have worked very hard to help prepare our students for this part of the exam. We ask parents and guardians to encourage your student to continue to study at home and utilize their teachers' office hours for extra help. Parallel to this, students will be wrapping up the vacation unit and will begin test prep. We will be reviewing essential 7th and 8th grade topics while practicing the skills of reading, writing, and listening. Again we encourage students to continue studying and attend office hours for extra help. Please reach out to your teachers with any questions or concerns regarding the Spanish Proficiency Exam.
Mandarin - 8th Grade
8th-grade students will take the World Language Exam on June 20, 2023. Mandarin students have started preparing for the Formal Speaking part of the Mandarin Proficiency Exam. Students practice 2-3 dialogues with their partners as a daily activity. In addition, students will create a Mandarin booklet summarizing all words/phrases/sentences they have learned in the past three years. By the middle of May, students will finish reviewing all topics related to the speaking exam, and Ms. He will begin to test Mandarin students for the Speaking part of the Proficiency Exam on May 15. Please encourage your child to attend office hours/Regent Prep for extra help.
French - Grade 7
7th Grade French students will continue to build listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in French as we begin our next unit on ordering and eating at a café. We will learn new vocabulary that centers around food and drink as well as how make suggestions, excuses, and recommendations regarding dining out. Students will end this unit with a restaurant project!
Spanish - Grade 7
In May we will be working on The Family Unit.
Students will discuss family and traditions that make us unique and define who we are. Students will exchange information about home life and how family perspectives differ across cultures. We will practice our reading skills by interpreting short texts about family structure and activities. Students will practice their speaking skills by preparing and presenting a collection of images and descriptions to share information about their home, family and friends. Students will also listen to blogs in Spanish about various families across Spanish-speaking countries.
Grammar: Noun/adjective agreement (number and gender). Irregular verbs; estar, ir, ver, salir, hacer. Review -er and -ir verbs.
Spanish - Grade 6
In May, Grade 6 students will start with the Unit "La Familia". The subject of “Pets" will be included as part of the family. Students will compare and contrast families' lives in Spanish speaking countries with families' lives in the United States. Students will complete a project to introduce their families. The project will be completed in Spanish so they will activate the vocabulary they have learned in the lessons surrounding “My House” and new vocabulary related to the family. They will talk about their families and pets, describe their house or apartment and discuss family life from a Spanish speaking country.
We will continue playing videos with music and lyrics so students can listen and sing along to improve their listening and speaking skills. They will continue reinforcing past and new lessons in class and at home making use of the IXL Program given by our school.
Latin - Grade 6
6th Grade Latin students are continuing our journey through ancient Rome. Each lesson builds background knowledge in the areas of history, culture, and language. We will continue to explore how influences from ancient Roman culture are all around us. Students will continue to learn more Latin vocabulary and expressions. We will also be reading Latin texts to learn how to use context clues, vocabulary, English cognates, and inferences to comprehend what we are reading. As always, we will continue to examine English derivatives from Latin words in order to build our English vocabulary.
Mandarin - Grade 6
6th-grade Mandarin students will start the Time Unit. Students will review the Chinese number system and learn time words that are frequently used in daily time expressions. By developing the time vocabulary and grammar patterns, students will be able to say the time in both formal and informal styles, ask basic time-related questions, and use the time to talk about their past, present, and future life in the target language.
ENL
The ENL department and our 6th and 7th grade students celebrate their hard work and progress with a trip to the New York Aquarium in Coney Island. For many of our students, this was a new experience for them filled with many memorable moments. They snapped photos of the panoramic city view from the subway, clapped their hands to the beat of the music during the sea lion show, pressed their noses up to shark tank and laughed with excitement as their seat shook in the 4-D theater, an immersive experience that combines visual drama of a 3-D film with a variety of built-in sensory effects. We ended our day with a quick walk on the boardwalk with the view of the Atlantic ocean.
The New York State English as a Second Language Assessment Test (NYSESLAT) have begun! Students are pulled out individually to take the speaking portion of the test. The 3-day listening, reading and writing part of the test will begin May 15 through May 26. Please be sure that your child is in school during this testing window! The NYSESLAT is only administered once a year and the only way students can exit from the ENL program. If students miss one or more part of the test, their tests will be invalid, and they will have to wait until next year to have another opportunity to demonstrate their English proficiency.
If you have comments or questions, please feel free to reach out to our ENL teachers Carol Tong (ctong2@schools.nyc.gov) and Jean Kim (jkim24@schools.nyc.gov).
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
As the Physical Education Department begins May, we start our kickball unit and will engage our students with outdoor activities.

Message from Guidance Counselors
High School Questions/ Concerns: 8th Grade, please see Ms.Ebony if you have any questions about the high school waitlist, placement or other concerns. As we get closer to the end of the school year it is important that you make sure your phone numbers and email address are up to date. High schools will be reaching out in preparation for the Fall. I do not want anyone to miss out on important information. Be safe and let’s look forward to a successful end of year.
Message from Dean Alban:
On Wednesday, April 26, facilitators from the Museum of Tolerance, which is located in Los Angeles, CA, visited several 6th grade classes to present a workshop on Combat Hate. This is a District-endorsed program. The facilitators visited classes: 633; 6G1; 6S1; 631; 603, and 601. Please ask your child about this event.
On Thursday, April 27, facilitators also visited with 7th grade classes. They were: 704; 7E1; 731; 701; 703, and 7G1. The workshops were interactive and were very successful and well received by students and teachers. If you would like more information about Combat Hate, please visit MuseumOfTolerance.com. Below are some pictures of the presentations:
Class 7E1 Class 704 Class 704
Now that the warmer weather is here please be mindful of what your child wears to school. Students’ torsos should be adequately covered. Your child’s foot wear should have a backing on the heels for safety as well.
Please continue to monitor your child’s social media activities. Many students come to report that inappropriate messages/ pictures are being sent to them.
If you believe that your child is a victim of bullying, please have your child come speak with me as soon as possible. This way tensions can be de-escalated sooner rather than later.
Spray bottles/ glass bottles of any kind are not permitted in school for safety reasons.
Students cannot bring drinks from Dunkin Donuts/ Starbucks to school.
The school yard is closed from 2:20pm-3pm. Students are permitted to come to the park after 3pm. This is for safety reasons during dismissal.
