Bike Rally Held for 3rd and 4th Grade The Wyckoff Police Department were present at Coolidge School to talk about bicycle safety with grades Pre-K through Grade 5. After the assembly, the Officers and parent volunteers checked off a check list to make sure that all of our 3rd and 4th graders can ride their bikes safely to and from school. It was an exciting time for everyone. Check out the photos below. |

"Imagine That!" By Rebecca W. (May 2, 2007) Calvin Coolidge School held its amazing theme day on April 13, 2007. The children started off their day with an improv theater performance. Then they went to exciting workshops. Some workshops interacted with learning, arts, music, food, sports, and science. We would like to thank the PTO and all of the parents that participated in theme day. The 2007 "Imagine That!" has been one of the best days all year.

Thank You from the Class of 2007! By Ryan Y. (May 2, 2007)
This year, as you may know, the 5th grade of Coolidge School had a plan to improve the courtyard for reading, relaxing and other activities. With your generosity we are on our way. We are happy to say that we have raised over one thousand dollars ($1000!) by selling student-designed tee shirts. The 5th grade class of '07 would love to thank everyone who donated their time, cooperation and money. Thank you for helping us to improve the Calvin Coolidge Elementary School’s courtyard. |

The Lion King is Coming to Coolidge By Amanda Y. and Kellie S. (January 3, 2007)
Cast Announcements Coming Very Soon By Amanda Y. (February 20, 2007) I can tell that all of the kids are excited to hear about the chorus news. They can't wait to hear the cast announcement on February 23, 2007. ****** IMPORTANT ****** NO CHORUS on February 21st FULL CHORUS in the gym on February 27th and February 28th I bet you are all wondering what this Spring’s musical will be? Well, wait no longer because I can tell you! It is the Lion King. The beloved movie is going to be this year’s spring musical. The fourth and fifth grade chorus will be performing it in June. We asked Mrs. Allen why she chose the Lion King and this is how she responded. She chose it because it can teach us life lessons and values. Also, she loves Elton John's music and he was what inspired her to play the piano when she was a kid! The chorus is very excited and we cannot wait!! We hope to see you at the show! ****** IMPORTANT ****** Fifth grade rehearsals are on Wednesdays.Fourth grade rehearsals are on Tuesdays. |
2007 Here We Come By Rebecca W., Krista S. and Kellie S. (January 3, 2007)
To celebrate this time of year all the grades are doing something special for the holidays. Here are some of the things that the students at Coolidge have been participating in prior to our Winter break: Kindergarten-read a book about a snowman with a missing heart, so they made their own snowmen with missing hearts. They also made gingerbread people at home with their family. First Grade-has been learning how to balance objects. Second Grade-wrote poems about snow. Third Grade-spoke about family traditions and wrote compliments to other kids on mittens. Fourth Grade-Wrote holiday acrostic poems and gave them as gifts. Fifth Grade-Wrote about the "perfect gift". In 2007 We Resolve To... By Rebecca W., Krista S. and Kellie S. (January 24, 2007)
Now that it is the New Year, some people have made some resolutions for 2007. A resolution is a goal or a promise that you make to yourself. Have you ever made it through a year keeping a resolution? The art, computer, gym, media, health, and music teachers have made some resolutions for school and the classroom. Some teachers have set their goals at home for their personal life. Mrs. DeMase, the art teacher, would like to cut down on desserts, take a Chinese cooking class and visit more friends. Ms. Liotard, our media specialist, would like to play more music and Mrs. Allen would like to lose weight, play golf and be more organized. Mrs. Kohanchek, our nurse, would like to walk three times a week and eat a healthy diet. Ms. Levine, our computer teacher, wants to be more organized and to continue to find ways to make computers fun and educational at the same time. Mr. Sancetta, our Physical Education teacher, forgot it was the New Year. Those are some New Years’ resolutions that the teachers made from Coolidge School. |

The Series of Unfortunate Events A Series of Books by Lemony Snicket By Nicholas C. (March 6, 2007)
A Series of Unfortunate Events, by Lemony Snicket is a series that may be depressing, but it is a series that hundreds of kids enjoy. This series starts when the Baudelaire parents are killed in a fire that burned down their house. Now, Sunny Klaus and Violet are orphans running away from the evil Count Oaf who is trying to steal their money. This book would be great for kids in grades 3 and up.

Construction Update Construction Making Slow Progress By Peter B. Pictures By Peter B. and Ryan Y. (May 2, 2007)
Construction Continues at Coolidge
The workers at Coolidge school said, ''If they come across a bolder they will have to get the rock inspected, so they can dig it out. After that they will have to start the proccess again.'' Right now the construction workers are beginning to get rid of the rocks, and are starting to make the foundation. This seems like a tough job because of the bad winter weather coming our way.
Construction Begins at Coolidge Mr. Famularo, the Principal at Coolidge School, said that the construction will finish somewhere around November, 2007. That seems like a long time to wait. I thought it would be finished by the end of this year. After talking with Mr. Famularo, here are some things that are being built: · A multi-purpose room the size of the gym · One regular size class room · Two small group instruction rooms. · Another small courtyard. With all of these additions this school will turn out great. I wonder if I’ll recognize it when I come back from Eisenhower to visit?

Log It Program Begins at Coolidge By Perry L. and Rebecca W. (October 18, 2006) Mr. Famularo thinks it is going to be a successful year for Calvin Coolidge School. What makes him so proud is to see students working and doing their best every day. The principal wants the new playground and hopes everyone participates to raise money. He also thinks that students are showing encouragement towards the new Log It program. This program was began to get kids and parents to walk to school, especially during our Construction. We hope to walk 10,726 miles this year. In case anyone didn’t know the theme for this year is going to be Building a School of Readers.

Reading is So Important By Chris S. (October 18, 2006)
A big topic of this school year is reading. I believe that reading is a way to learn many things. Every day you have to read something in order to figure something out. As a fifth-grade student I have come to understand the importance of reading through all my years at Coolidge School. Just like we have the Log-It program, I think we should have a program for reading. If you have any comments about this issue please contact Ms. Levine or the Webclub. If you have any ideas for other popular topics please bring them to the computer room and we will reply to all of your questions or ideas.

Introducing Timothy L. By Allison D. (October 25, 2006)
We interviewed TIMOTHY L.! He is in the fifth grade in Mrs.Ebanietti’s class. He said that his old school was a lot of fun! He is now in Band and Chorus. At his old school he played softball during recess and gym. Tim came from Fort Lee, New Jersey. We asked him if he thought it was hard leaving his friends behind? He said that "He didn’t really leave his friends, because he still is in contact with them". He also said, "He really liked Mrs. Ebanetti." He really likes his classmates and works well with them. Timothy’s favorite subject is math. His favorite Special is P.E. At Coolidge we have Web Club and Chorus, but at his old school he did not have that…and that is about Timothy L.!!! We are happy that he is here at Coolidge School. |
