On January 12, 2012 the 2nd grade had an awesome Mime Show!
Each class had their own show, the 2nd grade has been working on this show for 12 weeks and we worked really hard! Everyone helped to write the show and also had to make a mask to wear. A special thanks to our mime teacher. Great job 2nd grade! I hope everyone had fun! I think it should go to Lincoln Center!

This is the first of an ongoing series of articles about our community written by PS 8 students.
We think the new building is amazing! We like the smart boards, the furniture, how new and clean it looks, and the new computers in the library. We decided to interview teachers in the new rooms to see how they feel about the Annex, and how it has improved their lives.
Ms. Green, School Librarian:
How does it feel to be in the new building?
I feel really lucky. Every morning I’m so excited to go to school. It makes me feel happy to see the faces of students when they come into the new library.
Does the library feel different?
The library feels a lot more inviting. It sounds more quiet bc of the carpeting and the cozy furniture.
What is the one thing about the library that you did not expect?
Before the library was finished I got to meet the architect so I saw the blueprints. When I saw the plans I told the architect I wanted a drop box.
Anything else you wish to add?
I hope everyone who hasn’t had a chance to visit the library comes to visit.
Mr. Ellison, 5th Grade Teacher:
How do you feel about the new building?
Amazing, it’s everything a classroom should be with smart boards and computers. It’s easier for the kids to do activities.
What do you like best about your classroom?
I like having a printer and a smart board because they save time.
Can you tell us something unexpected or surprising about your new room?
The three big science sinks in the back of the room.
Ms. Levy, 2nd Grade Teacher:
What do you like about your new classroom?
Everything is new, there is a lot of closet space, I have new computers and a smart board.
What is something you did not expect?
The great view of the Brooklyn Bridge.
How has being in the new building helped you as a teacher?
It has helped me have a fresh start.
Thank you to all the teachers who helped us with this interview. We had a lot of fun!
