Project Citizen - Syrian Refugee  Support Bake Sale

Our class' last ELA/Social Studies unit was Project Citizen, which asked kids to consider solutions to problems they were most concerned about. One group expressed concerned about the Syrian Refugee Crisis and spent the unit learning about it, as well as considering ways they could help. 

The group decided that they wanted to have a bake sale in order to make donations of water to Syria via a group they learned about during their research called Hand to Hand for Syria. Even weeks after the unit was over, their commitment led to a bake sale that exceeded their goal of $200! They were able to raise $320! Way to go Vincent, Lina, Sophia, Zoe, and Sawyer!

Graduation Song

Fifth Grade Graduation Song

*Remixed from “Best Day of My Life” by American Authors

An awesome year at PS 8

We sing this song to celebrate

Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh

We learned so much, we got it right

We got along, we hardly fight

Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh

I'm never gonna look back- Woah

Never gonna give it up- No

Please don't make me go

These were the best years of my life

My li-i-i-i-i-ife

These were the best years of my life

My li-i-i-i-i-ife

(2 counts of 8)

I got to hang out with my friends

The good times seem to never end

Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh

But all the possibilities

That gave us opportunities

Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh

I'm never gonna look back- Woah

Never gonna give it up- No

Just don't make me go

These were the best years of my life

My li-i-i-i-i-ife

These were the best years of my life

My li-i-i-i-i-ife

(2 counts of 8)

Sixth grade is calling,  we gotta go now

I feel it in my soul (soul)

My heart is shining so bright

The 5th grade dance is tonight

I say we start to go (go)

These were the best years of my life

My li-i-i-i-i-ife

These were the best years of my life

My li-i-i-i-i-ife

This is gonna be, this is gonna be, this is gonna be

The best day of my life

Everything is looking up, everybody up now

These were the best years of my life

My li-i-i-i-i-ife
