Dear PS 101 Families:

Science curiosity continues to grow across our classrooms, and we are excited to share the March edition of the Science Scoop! We have gathered highlights from around the school to showcase the exciting investigations and discoveries happening at PS 101.

In this month’s issue, you’ll find: A spotlight on our Scientist of the Month with A fun science fact to spark conversation at home; A peek at the hands-on learning and investigations taking place across grade levels.

From observing, experimenting, and questioning to making real-world connections, our students are developing the skills and curiosity that help them think like scientists every day.

We hope you enjoy exploring this month’s Science Scoop and celebrating the wonderful scientific thinking happening throughout our school community!

Sincerely,

Ms. Warner and Mr. Lee
