Dear Postcard Pals,
We are from John Pearl Elementary School in Bohemia, on Long Island which is in New York. It is not a very larger school, we only have 328 students. We are a class of 18 5th graders and our teacher's name is Ms. Boccio. The school has grades K-5. We are located about 2 hours west of Motauk and 2 hours east of NYC. There are many beautiful beaches and lighthouses here, as well as a really cool water park called "Splish Splash". There are many activities to do here on Long Island like watching sporting events and going to an outside concert at Jones Beach Theater. Long Island has a minor league baseball team called the Long Island Ducks and a major League hockey team called the New York Islanders.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Dear friends,
We are 4th graders at Thiells Elementary. Our school is located near the Hudson River, just 30 minutes away from exciting NYC. Visiting West Point Military Academy is a fun field trip for us. We are very lucky to have the 2nd largest mall in America, the Palisades Center, right nearby. We love New York.

Hello from Nokomis School! We are a kindergarten class from Holbrook. Our school is on Long Island, a great place with lots of beaches. The Montauk Lighthouse is fifty miles east of us. It is a great place to go fishing. New York City is fifty miles west of us. We have all four seasons. Right now he trees are bare, and we are hoping for some snow. Our favorite time of the day is when we do centers. We enjoy reading books by Eric Carle, Ezra Jack Keats, and Jan Brett. Have a great year!
Love,
Mrs. Strong’s Kindergarten
