Edna Louise Spear Elementary School Students Create Ski Lodge

Press release from the Port Jefferson School District:

Jan. 24, 2023

Edna Louise Spear Elementary School pre-K students in Susan Giglio’s classroom are loving lessons in math, science, reading, the environment and social skills as they welcome guests to their very own Snow Valley Ski Lodge.

With amenities including a cocoa station with all the fixings, a snack area where they can purchase items for a day on the slopes, an inventive skating rink made from a shower curtain, and ski slopes with poles fashioned from pool noodles, the students celebrated opening day with some warm chocolate and rotational jumps and spins on the rink.

They also learned about arctic animals in the tundra, a play area designed with soap flakes used as snow that featured some plastic polar bears, fox, owls and deer who make their home in the northerly regions of the world.

The students ended their busy time at Snow Valley by a wood-paneled fireplace backdrop to warm up their toes for a good seasonal story.
