Principal's Book of the Month
"Last Stop on
Market Street"
Matt de la Peña
Last Stop on Market Street is a children's book about a boy named CJ who rides the bus with his Nana every Sunday, which prompts him to ask questions about their routine and the world around them. Over the course of their bus ride, Nana helps him see the beauty and joy in their everyday journey by highlighting the kindness, empathy, and unique qualities of the people they encounter. The story emphasizes finding happiness, appreciating differences, and the strong bond between a boy and his grandmother. .

Literacy Corner

Reading is Fundamental!
Host a Read Aloud night with family and friends!
At P.S./M.S. 183Q your child is receiving the highest level of reading instruction on the Rockaway Peninsula! Day in and day out; our students are reading and being read to in an effort to build knowledge over many topics. Do you know that knowledge is like Velcro? It actually sticks to other related knowledge.
We challenge you to catch your child reading all through the month of September to remind your child how much fun it is to read and build knowledge! Is your child a reluctant reader or experiencing reading difficulties? Keep stoking the flames of knowledge with a great audiobook.
Great news! Thousands of laugh out loud, intriguing, creepy, captivating tales are ready to be read or heard by NYCDOE students for free on SORA.
