March/April 2012 Book of the Month: Amazing Faces

Posted on March 22, 2012

Our book of the month, for the months of March and April is Amazing Faces by Lee Bennett Hopkins amd Chris Soentpiet.  This beautifully illustrated collection of poetry reflects the feelings we all experience at some time or another.  Our children have been listening, reading and writing poetry. We are now in the process of compiling their poems for our Annual PS 32 Poetry Anthology. This book was chosen to give the children another genre to explore and appreciate.

Our goal is to create a sustainable garden to give our children a hands-on, investigative approach to all aspects of urban gardening and the role of agriculture on our lives.

Through donations large and small you can help our garden grow. We have purchased the hardware for the first garden beds, but we still need more supplies.  Some examples are:

$1 will buy seeds;

$5 will buy a gardening tool;

$10 can help buy building supplies; and

$25 will buy a bag of soil
