Upon completion of a poetry unit, first grade students in Victoria Reid’s class at Tuttle Avenue School shared their best and final works during a Poetry Café. Students individually read three of their best poems to guests, which included examples of acrostic, pattern, diamante, Earth Day, pyramid, Cinquain, Haiku and various other poetry. The guests then snapped their fingers in recognition of the students’ efforts.
During the poetry unit, students learned about parts of speech and various forms of poetry. They each wrote 13 poems, which were bound in a hardback keepsake book.

Tuttle second grade students Matthew Sarmiento, Brayden Sparks and Connor Turitto were regional winners in the First in Math Virtual Regional Tournament and have now qualified for the 2025 First in Math New York State Mathematics Championship Finals to be held in Albany on May 31.  

First in Math is the Eastport-South Manor Central School District’s cornerstone of math fluency and recall. With its engaging game-based activities, students build math skills by solving problems under a time limit. The program challenges students, fosters a love for mathematics and builds problem-solving skills. First in Math requires fluency, automaticity and a deep understanding of mathematical principles.  

“Matthew, Brayden and Connor have exemplified hard work, sportsmanship and curiosity. They are role models for their classmates and an inspiration to us all,” District Director of K-12 Mathematics Justin Grover said.
