First grade classes at Babylon Elementary School worked with technology specialist Ms. Moran to learn about Ozobots. Students were given a piece of paper, a black marker and an Ozobot. Students were tasked with making the Ozobot move. Each student tried multiple methods to get their Ozobot to move and did not give up when their first method did not work out. The students discovered that Ozobots follow lines drawn with marker on a piece of paper and were excited to watch their robots in motion.

In conjunction with their recent social studies unit, fourth graders at Babylon Grade School participated in an in-school field trip with a recent visit from the Journeys in Native American Territory program. Students looked at artifacts and engaged in Native American storytelling and games. After learning about some of the rules of the Haudenosaunee tribe, the students participated in a government powwow. The fourth graders made their own clay bowls and also took a virtual tour of a longhouse.

Workshops Take a Step Back in Time

Fourth graders at Babylon Grade School participated in hands-on workshops in late March courtesy of the school’s Parent-Teacher Association’s cultural arts program. Benner’s Farm from Setauket visited the school to teach about life during colonial times. The workshops focused on the life experiences of colonial children. Students carded wool and used a drop spindle to turn the wool into yarn. They made a spinning top, a popular toy of colonial children, that helped them learn how to use the drop spindle. The students were able to use a loom to learn weaving. At the calligraphy and painting station, students used feather quill pens to write their names and painted using stencils. After grinding corn to make cornmeal on the stone, they sampled some corn cakes.

American Sign Language students, members of the ASL Club and ASL Honor Society at Babylon Junior-Senior High School had a special visit on March 28 from their remote ASL teachers from Oneida-Herkimer Madison BOCES in upstate New York. Babylon ASL students have been participating in distance learning with their teachers for the past few months. The teachers came for the first in-person visit to meet with students to create a personal connection. To close out the day, the members of the ASL Club and ASL Honor Society held a roundtable discussion with the teachers to talk about the deaf community and their college/career plans.

At Babylon Grade School, Mrs. Hendrickson and Miss Mullady’s fifth grade science classes have been learning about space systems, most recently studying the phases of the moon. Students used Oreo cookies to visualize the phases of the moon. They used the contrast of the cookie and frosting to represent light and shadows on the surface of the moon as seen from Earth.

Fifth and sixth grade student council representatives from Babylon Grade School made a special visit to Babylon Elementary School on March 22 as part of the Pick A Reading Partner initiative this month. Students read and delivered a copy of “Pete the Cat Out of this World” for each classroom library to coincide with the PARP theme of “Blast off with a Good Book.” The grade school students also distributed Pete the Cat stickers and space bookmarks for the younger students to color.

Ms. Arcoleo and Mrs. Gentile’s fourth grade class at Babylon Grade School participated in a book March Madness event. Students reviewed all the books they have read together this year and ranked their top 16 to start their brackets. Books competed against one another until each student had a champion book. During the class group share, the winner was named – “Number the Stars” by Lois Lowry.

On March 11, Babylon School District announced the valedictorian and salutatorian for the Class of 2022. In a small ceremony in the school’s library, Babylon Junior-Senior High School Principal Al Cirone recognized the top two students of the class. Joined by their families, valedictorian Kenneth Graham and salutatorian Alexis Lewis were recognized for their exemplary achievements both in and out of the classroom.
Throughout his high school career, valedictorian Kenneth Graham has participated in numerous activities in and out of the classroom. He is a member of the Student Council, National Honor Society, Class Cabinet, DECA and science research. He also plays on the lacrosse and golf teams. Graham is undecided on his choice of college at this time.
Salutatorian Alexis Lewis serves at the president of DECA and is a member of the National Honor Society, Business Honor Society and Social Studies Honor Society. Outside of school, she is a volunteer at Stony Brook Hospital and a volunteer student teacher at Center Stage Dance. She is also the recipient of gold and silver awards from the Girl Scouts. Lewis is still undecided on her college choice.
Babylon Union Free School District congratulates both students on their exceptional academic and extracurricular records and wishes them the utmost continued success as they become Babylon alumni.

Mrs. Lavin’s class at Babylon Elementary School has been studying animals and survival. Students learned how various animal coverings help them to survive. As part of an experiment, students put their hands on frozen ice packs – one fur free, and one with a fur covering. Students experienced how fur helps an animal keep warm and survive.

Ms. Kennedy’s third grade class from Babylon Grade School recently participated in the Skype a Scientist program. Students video chatted with Dr. Melissa Youngquist, a research biologist from the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. Students asked questions and learned about the animals of the aquarium and her research with amphibians. Students had the opportunity to see how science is used outside the classroom.

Students in Ms. Hauk’s class at Babylon Grade School kicked off their Pick A Reading Partner celebration in early March. Students used different tools to support their reading, such as question strips for comprehension, bookmarks, posters and helpful strategies they can use while reading in school and at home. In addition, students explored nonfiction texts and discussed text structure and features.

Babylon Junior-Senior High School’s World Language Club participated in World Language Week March 7-11 with schoolwide activities that celebrated languages. This year’s theme was “Humanity Through Language.”
The club created a schoolwide mural featuring the school community and different cultural perspectives. Each day, announcements were made by speakers in their native language including Bangladesh, Urdu, French, Chinese and Spanish. Using the letters in the word “human,” each day was themed around a different activity. On March 7, the focus was habitat. Students scanned different homes using QR codes placed throughout the building. On March 8, students signed up in the teams to compete in an after-school jigsaw puzzle competition, focusing on unity.
A schoolwide music showdown was the focus of day 3. Students scanned QR codes to vote on their favorite songs in Spanish and French. On March 10, students went on an adventure scavenger hunt to track down different letters to solve a Wordle puzzle. The final day of activities focused on need. As part of a Penny Wars initiative, students collected change while staff participated in a Jeans Friday to raise more for UNICEF’s efforts in the Ukraine.
