¡Repertorio Contigo! Presents "La Gringa"
MS 50 is excited to welcome ¡Repertorio Contigo! and their presentation of the play "La Gringa" on April 4! The New York Times writes that "La gringa is the story of a young woman from New York who goes to Puerto Rico in search of her extended family. When she finds them, the complicated misperceptions that develop on all sides unfold in comic dialogue that arouses constant shouts of laughter and bursts of applause." This Spanish language play is performed with English supertitles, making it fun for our whole community.
There will be a student performance for our theatre, dual language, and BSE classes at 1:00PM and a FREE performance for our families at 6:00PM. We want to thank our New York City Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez and the Cultural Immigrant Initiative for generously sponsoring this performance! We hope to see you there!

7th Grade- Chemical Reactions
Through investigations, students learn to identify when a chemical reaction has occurred and model the change in molecular structure of materials showing that the number and type of atoms (mass) are conserved in a reaction. The Science and Engineering Practices of Developing and Using Models and Analyzing and Interpreting Data are used to show how scientists might model reactions and collect data to show changes. The Crosscutting Concepts of Scale, Proportion, and Quantity; Patterns; and Energy and Matter are important themes necessary for students to understand changes in atomic structure.
