"A Community of Learners"
PS 112M. Mission
The staff and administrators of our school believe that every student
will be given the opportunity to maximize his/her ability to learn.
We recognize that education is fostered through cooperation between the teacher, student, parent, and community.
To this task we commit ourselves to build an educational atmosphere for
learning which we will provide our students the opportunity to develop
physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially in order to
become future productive members of society.
Our Vision:
We see our school as a community of learners where all members of the
staff, students, and parents support and accept each other, and meet
the needs of individuals. It is the hope that all members of our
community will become life long learners, be flexible, embrace change
and become active participants in our school and society. Ideally, all
members of the community will be responsible and accountable. The
members will respect themselves and others. The members will develop
critical thinking skills and the ability to communicate effectively.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are delighted to inform you that our school has recently acquired a
new learning tool for enrichment that your child will be able to use
both at home and during school called Renzulli Learning. This is an
exciting new resource for providing academic challenge. Renzulli
Learning is based on almost 30 years of research designed to help
students learn more about their own interests and talents. Renzulli
Learning searches through thousands of pre-screened resources on the
web and within the Renzulli Learning database, to find exciting,
challenging opportunities for all students in their specific areas of
interest and choice.
All first and second graders have registered during school last year
and will begin to use the system this year. Students answered a series
of questions about their interests and Renzulli Learning provides a
written profile that summarizes your child's talents, interests and
preferred learning styles. Enrichment activities are specifically
selected for your child to explore.
You can view your child's profile and activities online at any time. We
encourage you to take advantage of this learning system at home. We
invite you to visit http://www.renzullilearning.com to register so that
you can access your child's profile and activities. You will need your
child's Username and Password, which will be given to you as soon as
the new year gets rolling. We are pleased to have this opportunity to
share this news with you. If you have any questions, please contact
Theresa Esposito at tesposi@schools.nyc.gov or call the school,
extension 2100.

P.S.112 VIDEOCONFERENCES WITH ASIA!!!!
This year our Distant Learning program
has been a great success! Class 2-302 and class 2-216 connected with
countries in Asia! 2-302 had a videoconference with HONG KONG where
our students shared with Hong Kong students the process of print making
and they taught us how to bucket drum. When we connected with Hong Kong
there was a twelve hour difference. We met at 7:30AM while the students
over there met at 7:30 PM. Class 2-216 had their Videoconference with
TAIWAN. Our students learned about the Moon Festival and they learned
about the process of print making. When connecting with Taiwan, there
was a thirteen hour difference. We came to school at 6:00 PM and they
came to school at 7:00 AM. All the students involved with Distant
Learning have learned a great deal about different cultures and our
world. We hope to continue these great Global Projects!
P.S. 112 went to LEE RICHARDSON ZOO IN KANSAS!!!!
Class
1-213 and 1-306, had the opportunity to connect with a Zoo in Kansas.
On two separate occasions, the students learned about Animal Adaptation
and Birds of Prey. The preparation for these lessons included many
visits to the Science Room & Technology Lab. The children also
visited the Library to find resources needed for their topic. The
content for these lessons were prepared by Ms. Morelli and the
classroom teachers. The students quickly became experts and even
surprised Misty the Zookeeper with their knowledge!
Distant Learning is such a great tool because it allows students to
learn and wonder about the world they live in. The student’s natural
inquiry that took place during these events was amazing. The science
vocabulary acquired for this unit continues to be in use.
There is still more Videoconferencing to come this YEAR!!!
