As the students wrap up this trimester’s Storytelling Unit and we enter deeper into this season of giving, we invite you to be a part of the Peconic Community School story. We’re at a transformative moment in our history. As we envision a future for a “Campus for Cutchogue” as a new landmark for learning, arts and innovation on the North Fork, we also are keenly aware of our parallel everyday needs as a non-profit organization. Tuition alone does not cover our operating expenses, and at this time of year our need to keep the lights on, compensate our incredible teachers and support scholarships is at the forefront of our minds.    We humbly ask that you consider a contribution today to support our operating budget. We thank you for your gift of any amount – the support of this community keeps the story of PCS vibrant and flourishing day to day. #seasonofgiving #makeadifference #bepartofthePCSstory #nonprofitorganization #fundraising #communitysupport #handsonlearning #childcenteredlearning #projectbasedlearning

💫Celebration of Learning: Fall 2024: Storytelling, The Power of Stories to Shape Our World. Part exhibition, part performance, part community gathering, with the spirit of a carnival, The Celebration of Learning is the culmination of a trimester’s worth of work around a school-wide shared topic of study. It is a chance for students to showcase 12 weeks worth of research, investigation, field work, expert consultations and classroom collaboration. Students create projects and documentation to demonstrate the depth and breath of their knowledge and insight after a trimester’s worth of immersion in a topic. The Celebration is their chance to shine as they share with family, friends and the school community all that they have learned about the power of storytelling this trimester. We had investigations into the shape of story, the power of story, photos as stories, the brain science of storytelling, immigration stories and the art of dramatic storytelling. We’re so proud of our students for their hard work and reflection and so grateful to our families and friends for their presence and attention. Learning is indeed something to be celebrated! #celebrationoflearning #culminationofstudy #projectbasedlearning #authenticlearning #handsonlearning #integratedunitofstudy #thepowerofstorytelling #presentationofknowledge #documentation #makinglearningvisible #progressiveeducation #independentschool #northforklongisland #peconiccommunityschool
💫So much important work happening today as we prepare for tomorrow’s Celebration of Learning!! The Celebration of Learning is the culmination of a trimester’s worth of work around a school-wide shared topic of study and showcases 12 weeks worth of research, investigation, field work, expert consultations and classroom collaboration. After being immersed in study for the course of the trimester, students are just bursting to create pieces that demonstrate the breadth and depth of their knowledge around the art of storytelling. They’re counting the number of sleeps until the big day when they can share their learning with the larger PCS community of friends and family. Campus is positively buzzing with excitement and productivity. We can’t wait to welcome all of you to campus tomorrow evening for this school year’s first Celebration of Learning. #celebrationoflearning #culminationofstudy #projectbasedlearning #authenticlearning #handsonlearning #integratedunitofstudy #thepowerofstorytelling #presentationofknowledge #documentation #makinglearningvisible #progressiveeducation #independentschool #northforklongisland #peconiccommunityschool

🥋We’re thrilled to announce a new winter afterschool offering at Peconic Community School – a four-week Taekwondo Workshop for children in Kindergarten through Grade 2, led by an experienced instructor from Expert Martial Arts of Aquebogue. The sessions run Wednesdays, January 8th through January 29th from 3:15 to 4pm, here at Peconic Community School.   These sessions will focus on three key areas: physical activity, self-discipline, and respect. Students will engage in fun exercises that promote physical fitness and coordination, helping them stay active and healthy. Through the practice of martial arts, they will also develop self-discipline by learning the importance of setting goals and working diligently to achieve them. Additionally, the program emphasizes respect for oneself and others, fostering positive relationships with peers and instructors.

3rd and 4th grade storytellers are focused on immigration stories for this unit’s Storytelling theme. They’ve been interviewing recent immigrants, investigating their countries of origin and documenting the stories that go along with the immigration journeys. Last week they had the privilege of visiting Ellis Island to continue their immigration investigation, and the trip was nothing short of amazing! The students were completely immersed in the experience and so proud to showcase what they’ve been learning all semester. They were uniquely prepared to take in the exhibits they visited, and walking the same stairs that countless immigrants once climbed was a powerful moment for many. We’re so proud of our students for the depth of knowledge they brought on the trip and for their engagement with the material they found on Ellis Island — it was a meaningful day that profoundly tied together the storytelling unit. #ellisisland #nycfieldtrip #immigrationstudy #storytellingunit #progressiveeducation #independentschool #northforklongisland #peconiccommunityschool

Congratulations to our Middle Schoolers for completed their 8 week community internships and presenting their experiences this afternoon. PCS seventh and eighth graders complete two 8 week internships each year at community organizations and businesses, visiting their internship sites once per week and learning from community leaders and entrepreneurs. Students learn communication skills, interpersonal skills, task management, and job specific tasks including creating displays, doing research, managing products and interacting with customers. We’re so proud of the compelling and polished presentations they offered to their families and younger peers this afternoon. Inspiring, indeed. Thank you to North Fork Animal Welfare League, CAST of Southold, Veme studios, the Floyd Memorial Library, North Fork Apothecary, Magic Fountain Ice Cream and PCS Early Childhood for hosting our student interns. The internship program is a profound and foundational aspect of our Middle School Curriculum and we couldn’t do it without partners like you!🤍 #communityinternships #pcsmiddleschool #seventhandeigthgrade #communityengagement #entreprenuership #businessskills #realworldlearning #progressiveeducation #independentschool #northforklongisland #peconiccommunityschool
