Remembering First Grade

Thomas, Web Applications

BHS partnered with the Brooklyn School of Inquiry (BSI), a citywide gifted and talented school located in Bensonhurst, to conduct oral history interviews with all of the students in the school's first First Grade class.  Although these narrators are only 6 or 7 years old, their interviews add much to BHS's Oral History collection, documenting important things about life in Brooklyn in 2010, including details that can only be captured by youthful candor.  Students will receive copies of their interviews when they graduate from 8th Grade in 2017.

Check out this video from BSI's series A School Grows in Brooklyn:
