Natural Recycling at P9 Main
Composting is nature’s way of recycling organic
materials into rich soil known as compost. Compost
energizes the soil and helps plants to grow. At P9 all
students help to compost.

The tumbler was purchased with a grant from the
Pollination Project. The compost will be used in 5
gallon buckets that will be used to grow vegetables.
These "portable gardens" which have been donated
from Fairway and Stop and Shop will be donated to
local nursing homes free of charge for their residents
to experience home grown vegetables.

Sites PS 9@882, PS 9@209 and
PS 9@182 came together toshowcase our best spellers in a
friendly Spelling Bee

“buzzing” as our ambitious

confidently spelled challenging
words. Each grade had
participants who made our school shine. Some rounds went on for
a while because our competitors could not be stumped. Our
participants showed courage, intelligence and sportsmanship.

Dr. Seuss’s Birthday Bash at PS 9@882
Our literacy teacher, Ms. Alvarez, collaborated with all our
classroom teachers to pay tribute to the legendary, Dr.
Seuss. The month of March our staff and students read
Seuss’s stories, studied his life, career and
accomplishments.
Each class chose a Dr. Seuss book and created a project that
depicted their favorite part. Student’s created dioramas and posters
to illustrate that part they loved. They worked hard on their
projects to honor our favorite author.
On March 31, Ms. Alvarez threw
a birthday party for Dr. Seuss.
She decorated the cafeteria and
displayed all the students’ projects. Everyone at 882 came
to celebrate. Before playing the
movie, Dr. Seuss’s The Cat In
The Hat , we sang the happy
birthday song for our favorite
author and cut a custom made
cake, just for him!

students participate in a tea party. The children worked
most of the year learning about all aspects of a tea party:
what you need for a tea party, proper etiquette, going
shopping, writing shopping lists, what to wear to a tea
party, writing and responding to invitations, setting the
table, and preparing the food. The Tea Party took place on
March 30, 2016. The children enjoyed the whole process!A good time was had by all.
