YOKO ONO is ready to come together again with some of John Lennon’s most prized possession­s.

Nearly 100 items belonging to the late Beatle were recovered in Berlin this week — more than a decade after they were stolen from the rocker’s widow in New York in 2006.

Among Lennon’s belongings are two pairs of his signature circlefram­e glasses, a recording of a 1965 Beatles concert, a 1952 school book from his Liverpool youth, a cigarette case, handwritte­n scores of some of his songs and three leatherbou­nd diaries.

The diaries include Lennon’s final entry, written just hours before he was killed Dec. 8, 1980, by Mark David Chapman.

German police were tipped off to the items’ existence in July by a bankruptcy administra­tor for a Berlin auction house, who found them in the company’s storage.

Police arrested a 58-year-old businessma­n Monday and raided his home and car, where they found a briefcase containing more items hidden under a spare tire in the car’s trunk. A STORY IN Tuesday’s Daily News incorrectl­y reported that singer and actress Della Reese was survived by her husband and four children. She is survived by her husband and three children, James, Franklin and Dominique. She was predecease­d by her daughter, Deloreese. The News regrets the error. FIRST-GRADERS in a Pennsylvan­ia school district are terrorizin­g teachers — forcing as many as 45 educators to resign over four months.

Unruly students as young as 6 are exhibiting extreme behaviors — attacking teachers and flipping over desks in several schools, according to PennLive.com.

“I have been kicked, punched, hit, scratched. I’ve had a student physically restrainin­g me in front of my other students,” firstgrade teacher Amanda Sheaffer said at a Harrisburg school board meeting Monday.
