P94M Cyber Writers

Our P94M @ 188 proudly collaborates with local business in New York City to provide opportunities for students to learn valuable skills that are required to enter the work force. Here are some excerpts from some of our students across various locations!

Our students at both P94M @ 276 and P94M @ 188 researched different jobs and roles in their favorite fields. They answered Wh- Questions (who, what, where, when and why) to discover information about their future career paths.

"A bus driver is the person who keeps the students safe, drives them to school and takes them back home. The bus driver also takes students on school trips . Bus drivers need to get a bus driver’s license to drive the bus. Everyone who rides the bus needs to wear a seatbelt to stay safe. The bus driver picks up the students from their home in the morning, and in the afternoon he or she drops them home. The bus driver drives on the street to get to the school. A bus driver picks up students and drops off students to different schools. When the bus stops, the bus driver needs to show the stop sign so other drivers would stop to prevent accidents. The matron is on the bus, she or he protects students, and calls the parents to let them know that the students are almost home. The matron also makes sure that students don’t do bad things such as standing in the bus. I want to be a bus driver because I would like to pick up kids, and keep them safe. I like buses and I like to drive them! The bus driver’s job is important because the kids need to go to school."
