This year, Mr. Wronko’s students, Kevin Ogden, 8th grade Asbury Park High School NJ, Katherine Avila Roman, 8th grade Asbury Park High School NJ, Noemi Martinez, 8th grade Asbury Park High School NJ, Sahar Kamel, 8th grade Asbury Park High School, and Edgar Escobar, 8th grade Asbury Park High School, were able to show their artistic talents by getting their work published in Prehistoric Times Magazine issue 145.

Asbury Park High collaboration with Prehistoric Times Magazine

Throughout Mr. Wronko’s nineteen years in the Asbury Park School District, the students’ artwork and projects were published in over thirty issues of this magazine.

The current students work was not only seen in this magazine but also seen on LinkedIn in which each student received over one thousand impressions. This was a tremendous achievement of Mr. Wronko’s students. This was Kevin Ogden’s and Edgar Escobar’s second publication for this magazine. Because of their achivement, more students want to share their artistic talents and get published in this magazine.

Cretaceous Warzone project in Prehistoric Times Magazine

Also published in this current issue of Prehistoric Times Magazine was an ad for the Cretaceous Warzone project. This project was used as an enrichment assignment in Mr. Wronko’s classes, which allowed students to improve their writing ability by creating stories that put dinosaurs in combat situations. Students also made presentations about this project at the Natural Museum in Washington D.C., the Museum of Natural History in New York City, and the Museum in Trenton New Jersey.

Classroom Close-up: Project Ghana

The project was also presented on the television show, Classroom Close-up: Project Ghana. During the show Mr. Wronko showed his and the students in Ghana what would happen if Argentinosaurus had to battle two Giganotosaurus.’ The idea to use the Aregentinosaurus was from Mr. Wronko’s trip to the Museum of Natural History.
