Start Using Super Teacher Tutor TODAY (Tutoring App)

Dear PS 101 Parents,

All PS101 families have free access to Super Teacher.

Super Teacher (AI Tutoring App)

  • What it is: An interactive AI-powered tutoring mobile and web application designed for children ages 3 to 10 (primarily focusing on early reading, math, and general subjects).
  • How it works: The app uses pre-scripted human teacher content combined with speech transcription and synthetic voice technology. Children speak out loud to answer prompts, and the app responds to them by name, simulating a one-on-one private tutor.
  • Features: Offers unlimited interactive lessons, daily challenges, and flashcards that adapt in real time to a child’s skill level.

To access Super Teacher:

  1. Download the app – install Super Teacher on your iPad, iPhone, Android or Chromebook. The app is free to download on the App Store (iOS) and Play Store (Android & Chromebook).
  2. Log in with Clever- using this link to log into Super Teacher with your child’s school account (same as you would use for Google classroom).

Once you’re logged in with Clever, you have access to the full Super Teacher app. If you run into any issues or if you have any questions, you can contact the company at support@getsuperteacher.com.

Please watch the tutorial below on how to use your child’s AI Teacher and begin using this fun and engaging learning experience to help them learn from home starting today. Your child’s teacher can see if your child is logging on and doing work 🙂

Welcome to the Science Scoop!

Greetings PS 101 Families:

The Science Scoop is our monthly update from our science cluster team, As lead teachers, we will design a monthly newsletter to keep you in the science loop with the science scoop!

We want to give PS 101 families a peek inside our science labs! Each issue highlights hands-on grade-level units, spotlights inspiring Scientists of the Month (like Dr. Mae Jemison) and shares fun facts to spark curiosity at home.

In September, our young scientists have been busy investigating:

  • Pre-K: Exploring our 5 senses.
  • Kindergarten: Learning about living and non-living things.
  • 1st Grade: Exploring all about light and sound.
  • 2nd Grade: Learning about how to be a scientist and exploring landforms.
  • 3rd Grade: Investigating why a train might float and why animals use camouflage.
  • 4th Grade: Experimenting with fresh water vs. salt water (floating vs. sinking) and learning how we communicate.
  • 5th Grade: Discovering the difference between substances and mixtures.

Scientist of the Month: Dr. Mae Jemison:

Check out the Scientist of the Month board in school to learn more about Dr. Jemison and her inspiring contributions to our world!

Science Fact of the Month:

One million Earths could fit inside the Sun!

Ask your young scientist what they’ve been discovering in science class this month! The Science Scoop shows how our students are learning to think, experiment, and explore like scientists every day. Find out the scoop every month with our PS 101 scientists!

Celebrating National Principals Month – Honoring Mr. Gregg Korrol

Dear P.S. 101K Community,

October is recognized nationally as National Principals Month—a time dedicated to celebrating the visionary leaders who work tirelessly behind the scenes and in the hallways to ensure our schools are places where children thrive, learn, and grow. We are so incredibly fortunate to work at PS 101, an incredibly special place, and that starts in any school with the leadership provided by the principal.

Today, on behalf of our entire school staff, students, and community, we want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on our exceptional leader, Principal Gregg Korrol.

From September 2005 until present day Mr. Korrol has guided PS 101 to be one of the top elementary schools in all of NYC. Think about how different life was for our children over two decades ago, and the challenges he has overcome to find such incredible sustained success over such a long period of time. Being a school principal requires extraordinary dedication, passion, and resilience, and every building leader must find their own niche. For Mr. Korrol that was technology, stewarding in the era of 21st century classrooms and making sure his staff and students were always on the cutting edge of the next technological development that could benefit student learning.

Every single day for over two decades and counting, Mr. Korrol leads P.S. 101K with a clear commitment to academic excellence, student safety, and building a warm, welcoming environment for every child who walks through our doors. From supporting our teachers in bringing innovative instructional practices into the classroom to greeting our students with energy and enthusiasm, his leadership shapes the heart of our school.

How You Can Help Us Celebrate Mr. Korrol This Month:

We would love for our school community to join us in showing our appreciation throughout the month of October! Here are a few quick ways you and your child can get involved:

  • Send a Note of Thanks: Have your child write a brief thank-you card or drawing to drop off in the main office.
  • Spread the Word: Leave a positive message on our school’s Instagram using the hashtag #ThankAPrincipal.

Please join me in thanking Principal Korrol for his unwavering devotion to the students, staff, and families of P.S. 101K!

– The PS 101 Family
