What’s the Science Scoop in June?

Dear PS 101 Families:

As we wrap up our school year, our young scientists continue to shine through curiosity, discovery, and hands-on learning! We are excited to share the final Science Scoop of the 2025–2026 school year and celebrate the scientific thinking taking place throughout PS 101.

Inside our June issue, you will find:

  • A spotlight on our Scientist of the Month
  • A fun and engaging science fact to continue sparking conversations at home
  • Highlights of exciting classroom investigations, STEM activities, and end-of-year scientific learning experiences across grade levels

Throughout the year, our students explored science through questioning, observing, experimenting, problem-solving, and making meaningful real-world connections. We are so proud of the enthusiasm, creativity, and teamwork our students demonstrated as they grew into curious young scientists.

Enjoy the June edition of the Science Scoop and we wish you a safe, relaxing, and science-filled summer!

Sincerely,

Our PS 101 Science Cluster Team
Ms. Warner and Mr. Lee
