Hillcrest students in Ms. Rice’s class recently made bird feeders while studying food chains. This activity also taught students important lessons about recycling and reusing materials to help our environment.
Hillcrest students in Mrs. Lauren Batista’s class recently completed multiple bird houses, which they crafted to give to residents at the Peekskill Senior Center (PSC). The students had fun working in groups to create the houses. The process involved drilling, sawing, and painting to complete the projects. Students also had the opportunity to reinforce their science lessons, and learn about important safety procedures as well. Click on the headline to read more on this story!
