PERSHING ARCHITECTURE
STUDENTS PRESENT THEIR WORK AT DESIGN EXPO 16 On Saturday, June 18th, twenty students from IS 220 went to the Center for
Architecture in Manhattan to present their building designs to a panel of
architects and architecture students. This year’s students created designs for
a Parks Department. The final teams were selected to bring their work to the
Center where they took turns presenting their models and their sales talk. The
panelists were impressed by the level of work by our students. Students were
given certificates from the center to acknowledge their commitment to this
demanding project. Thanks to Ms. Valdinoto and Mr. Mosher for taking the time
to make this program possible for our students.

6th Grade ELA Metamorphosis!
6th Grade ELA
students at John J. Pershing are reading Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen which focuses
on the conflict of character versus nature. The ELA 6th Grade teachers
purchased a cup of five caterpillars and food.
After approximately seven days, the caterpillars stopped eating on the
floor of the cup and climbed to the top.
They attached themselves to hang upside down and transform into
chrysalides. Students then watched as the amazing change took place and the caterpillar parts inside the chrysalis gradually liquefied
and reformed into beautiful butterflies!
Teachers and students had a release
celebration in the school yard.
7th Grade ELA Water Challenge7th grade students at
John J. Pershing are reading A Long
Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park and decided to
participate in the Iron Giraffe
Challenge to raise money to build clean water drinking wells
in the areas of the South Sudan that are stricken by a lack of natural
resources. In addition, students read about the water crisis in the United
States and decided to donate half of the money raised to the American Red
Cross.Relay For Life Dance Students at John J. Pershing kicked off their Relay for Life event by holding a dance open for all students. Students were able to dance, play at gaming stations, and enter for a chance to win raffle prizes. The event was a great success and a lot of money was raised for an important cause!
