Barnum Woods Elementary

What a great surprise it was for all of our students to be greeted by the one and only, Barnum Woods Bobcat, during morning arrival! What a wonderful way to start the day! 💙🤍 @emeadowschools #BarnumWoodsSchool #BarnumBobcats

These students are busy exploring concepts, strengthening reasoning skills, and developing a deeper understanding of mathematics through hands-on activities, problem-solving challenges, and critical thinking tasks.

The BW Elementary Safety Patrol is a group of responsible student leaders who help keep their school safe. Patrol members assist with tasks such as helping during arrival and dismissal, reminding others to follow school rules, and modeling respectful, responsible behavior.

Thank you to all of our veterans! 🇺🇸 Your bravery, dedication, and commitment to our country will never be forgotten. We appreciate your service and all of your sacrifices. ❤️🤍💙 @emeadowschools #thankaveteran

In Mrs. Hodge's STEM class, Mr. Longo's fifth graders created Lunar Landers out of various materials. After building them, students tested their Lunar Landers from different heights hoping the astronauts stayed safe and sound as they landed! @emeadowschools #STEM

These little mouseketeers have so much fun being members of the Disney Club! M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!! 🎶🎵 @emeadowschools

Celebrating Red Ribbon Week 2025 at Barnum Woods! Students and staff participated in daily themed activities to show their support of the importance of living a drug-free life! Monday was Pajama Day! “Put drugs to sleep!” @emeadowschools #redribbonweek2025

Mrs. Pelo and Mrs. Lanzieri’s 1st graders had so much fun comparing numbers using candy corn to represent the symbols “greater than” and “less than” during their math lesson today! @emeadowschools

Mrs. Pellegrino’s fifth grade ELA students enjoyed the fresh, fall air while working on their sensory narratives outside today. They are using descriptive language appealing to the five senses to create vivid experiences for their readers. @emeadowschools

Mrs. Abbatiello’s 4th graders showed their dedication and hard work writing personal narratives over the past weeks. They were thrilled to have their publishing party and couldn’t wait to share their personal narratives in their small groups and give their classmates compliments and glows. @emeadowschools

All of the kindergarten and first grade students LOVE when Mrs. Bradley, our BOCES technology specialist, visits their classes and teaches them new computer skills on their Chromebooks! @emeadowschools

Mrs. Kelleher and Mrs. Roth’s kindergarten students had so much fun picking their very own pumpkins from the Barnum Woods PTA Pumpkin Patch! They used their math skills to take their best guesses at the circumference of their class pumpkin! @emeadowschools

Mrs. Abbatiello’s 4th grade class adopted a calf from a dairy farm in Cortland, NY. They will follow their calf, Lily, as she develops and matures. They will have the opportunity to ask the farmers different questions about Lily’s progress.  These 4th graders are so excited to watch Lily grow and learn more about these amazing farm animals!

Great progress with students' typing skills is happening in Mrs. Kirichenko's computer classes! 2nd graders filled in the missing keys on a keyboard after a "magic trick went wrong", while 3rd graders colored in the keys to their corresponding typing fingers! @emeadowschools

The second graders have been hard at work designing and building their own playgrounds after studying the properties of the Barnum playgrounds outside! @emeadowschools #science21

After reading the story, The Magic Paintbrush, these second grade students used their imaginations and creativity to write their own stories titled, My Magic Paintbrush! @emeadowschools #magicpaintbrush
