Coral Reef

Hello there, My name is Mayelin (Maylean) and I know yours is Tayla. I am in 8th grade and currently a student at C I S 339.I LOVE singing, and anything that has to do with FUN. Well, I am an outgoing person, I love to have fun and chill with my friends. My friends names are Katherine, Magdalena, Divanna, Irianis, Natalie, Amanda and Bethanie. Long story short, in my AMAZING science class we are currently studying about the Coral Reef. On June 9, we have a special thing going on called DOT TO DOT. We basically have to share our projects online that we are working on for each subject with the world, when I mean the world it is literally THE WORLD. I chose to work on Mass Extinction. Mass Extinction is the process in which huge numbers of species die out suddenly. Well, Tayla it was nice "meeting you" LOL. I got to go now, take care and enjoy your days, weekends, JUST HAVE FUN.

Hi, Zach. My name is Rotceh(row-c). I am a thirteen year old girl, who goes to C.I.S.339, Bronx N.Y. I am Puerto Rican. I like to play baseball, basketball, and video games too. I also love to draw cartoons, it's so much fun., and read. You should really read Twilight and should try drawing too. My teacher, Mrs. Johnson, also taught us about inveterbrae. Wow, I never saw the brittle star before. In our school, we are doing a science project about coral reef for Dot to Dot. In my other classes, we are all doing different projects also. Have you heard about Dot to Dot?

The Coral Reef

Hi Dom! My name is Taina and I am 13 years old. I play the piano and I also use to play the guitar. I love playing softball, but my main hobby is having fun with all my friends. Ms. Johnson is my science teacher. I had her for almost three years she is a good teacher she has taught me everything I learn in science in this school. In my science class I am doing a project about coral reefs. I have to pick eight reefs and describe them. I have learned many things about Coral reefs. I have learned all eight reefs they are fringing reef, barrier reef, apron reef, bank reef, table reef, ribbon reef, patch reef and the atoll reef. Learning about the reefs is very interesting. By the way, my favorite subject is math and I love to talk.

Mercy Introduction

Hi, my name is Teresa Hackney and I co-ordinate Marine Studies at Mercy College. We are a middle school with students in YR8-10 (12-15 year olds). My current class are studying coral reef ecosystems and have an assignment on adaptations of a an invertebrate animal that they are likely to encounter whilst snorkelling at the reef. These students will be taking a day trip to the reef on the 5th of June. Students will also be looking at th eimpact of human interactions on the reef including global warming, sediment "run-off", crown of thorns, etc....


If students in your class would like to interact and respond they ar emost welcome to post to this blog. I will setup our students with accounts next week.

The CORAL REEF PROJECT

Hi, my name is Lucinda Johnson and I am a science teacher at C.I.S.339 in the Bronx, New York.

It is a pleasure to be working with you and your class. We are so excited!
The purpose of this research is to teach the children strategies to
protect endangered species, preserve habitats, reduce pollution, and
conserve the biodiversity of species in ecosystems.

My goal is to encourage my students to become life-long learners of
Conservation Biology. Hopefully, my students will learn that the
survival of living things on our planet depends on the conservation
and protection of environments.
