West Islip Students Show Off Their Academic Superpowers
During the second week of the four-week Summer Investigations program, elementary students explored “Superheroes and Courageous Characters.” Students learned about the various traits of a superhero in their writing and reading assignments. They listened to “A Hero Like You” and created their own Shrinky Dinks superhero figures in the STEM lab.
In the library, students read “Mae Among the Stars,” a biography about Mae Jemison. They used their Chromebook and learning platform PebbleGo to research Jemison and learn more about her life. In addition, Ms. Samantha from the West Islip Public Library visited students and read “Ten Rules of Being a Superhero.” Students created, decorated and designed their own paper superhero masks.
