    On the evening of Mar. 19, first graders and their special guests gathered at Theodore Roosevelt School for the fourth annual Social Studies Night, an interactive event designed to encourage family participation in learning. The night featured a series of engaging activities focused on civics, community, local history, and geography, reinforcing the importance of being active and informed citizens.

    Teachers from various disciplines led the activities in five different classrooms, with assistance from high school members of the Social Studies National Honor Society (Rho Kappa), under the guidance of adviser David Pontillo. Throughout the evening, students and their guests rotated through stations that made learning both fun and interactive.

    Among the activities, participants assembled a jigsaw puzzle map of the United States, played social studies bingo, and learned patriotic songs, which they performed in a lively parade. They also crafted teddy bears while listening to a story about Theodore Roosevelt and explored his legacy in conservation by planting seeds to take home.

    As a special keepsake, each student received a small globe, serving as a reminder of the broader world and their role in it.

    Social Studies Night has proven to be a popular and enjoyable tradition at Theodore Roosevelt School. By blending hands-on activities with key social studies concepts—history, geography, economics, government, and civic participation—the event fosters a deeper understanding of citizenship and community engagement among young learners and their families.

    Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School recently buzzed with excitement as second graders and their families gathered for an engaging evening of science activities and experiments. Organized by Regina D’Orio, the school’s dedicated Science and Technology teacher, the event provided a hands-on learning experience designed to spark curiosity and foster a love for science among young students.

Their support helped create a dynamic environment where students could explore scientific concepts through fun, interactive stations.

    Families rotated through a variety of activities, each designed to highlight different scientific principles. Students delved into the fascinating world of forensics with “Fingerprinting Fun,” experimented with physics and motion through the “Teddy Bear Zipline,” and explored surface tension in the “Drops on a Penny” challenge. The “Hoop Gliders” station introduced basic aerodynamics, while the “Bubbling Blob” experiment captivated students with colorful, fizzy reactions.

    The Family Science Night was more than just an evening of entertainment—it was an opportunity for students to engage in critical thinking, problem-solving and teamwork alongside their peers and families. The event highlighted Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School’s commitment to fostering a strong foundation in STEM education, encouraging young minds to explore, question and discover the world around them.
