We Practice Intellectualism at P.S. 165 Q

We Practice Intellectualism at P.S. 165 Q is an inspiring collection of stories that encourages students to think deeply, ask meaningful questions, and grow as thoughtful learners. Through relatable classroom experiences and engaging school-based moments, students discover that intellectualism is not just about knowing answers. It is about listening, reflecting, explaining ideas, solving problems, and understanding different perspectives.

From kindergarten circle time discussions to fifth grade leadership moments, each story highlights the importance of curiosity, reasoning, communication, and critical thinking. Students learn that learning becomes stronger when they take their time, use evidence, share their thinking, and remain open to new ideas.

Designed for elementary school readers, this book also includes a glossary and reflection questions to help extend conversations about intellectual growth both in the classroom and at home. We Practice Intellectualism at P.S. 165 Q celebrates a school community where students are encouraged to think with purpose, learn with confidence, and grow together every day.
