What an incredible V.I.P. Day we had at Barnum Woods! Our 2nd graders turned Barnum into a Living Museum! Students completed research projects on famous people, past and present, and showcased their research while dressed head to toe as these well-known figures! @emeadowschools
In computer class, after reading Once Upon a Time Online, the 3rd graders reviewed the importance of having adult supervision when going online! The 4th graders created their own digital footprints after reading Technology Tail: A Digital Footprint Story with Mrs. Kirichenko!
The EMSD partnered with LICADD again this year to provide a presentation to raise awareness about the dangers of vaping, inform our 5th graders about the risks to their health, and provide them with strategies to avoid using e-cigarettes and other vaping products.
It's WELLNESS WEEK! The second grade students enjoyed the beautiful weather outside on this first day of Wellness Week - Unplugged Day!
“If You Give a Mouse a Phone…” These 2nd graders enjoyed this entertaining read-aloud in computer class with Mrs. Kirichenko on Unplugged Day! Inspired by the events of the story, students wrote their own device adventure stories and shared them with the class!
Unplugged Day means computer classes with NO computers! Mrs. Kirichenko had her 5th graders rethinking coding in a whole new way! Communicating with details was the focus. Students drew images based on their partners' detailed descriptions! The results were quite impressive!
Congratulations and thank you to Mrs. Pellegrino’s 5th grade class for donating the most shoes for our annual PMT Shoe Drive! The school donated a total of 3,086 pairs of shoes with Mrs. Pellegrino’s students donating 339 of those pairs! The shoes are donated to Wearable Collections, an organization that collects and donates the shoes depending on level of wear to people in need both locally and all over the world and to repurposing any unwearable shoes for playground materials. These smiling students celebrated with a delicious breakfast with Mrs. Sagnelli, Mrs. Alfano, PMT members, Mr. Weinstein and Mrs. Goldstein, and special guest, Nassau County Legislator, Tom McKevitt. During the celebration, Nassau County Legislator, Tom McKevitt, presented our assistant principal, Mrs. Alfano, with a Legislative Citation of Merit to recognize her many years of dedication and outstanding contributions to Barnum Woods School and community. Congratulations to Mrs. Alfano on this well-deserved honor!
Thank you again to all of those who donated to this important cause. It was a wonderful morning filled with smiles, laughter, and delectable food.

Mrs. Gordon's 1st grade students have been busy bees during the month of May! They used shapes to create images showing imagination and teamwork! They learned about the parts of a plant by labeling them, wrote steps explaining how to grow a plant, and are enjoying planting and watching their flowers grow! Finally, they worked so hard to earn a PJ and plushie day! The students loved enjoying a cozy DEAR time while cuddling with their plushie friends!
