    • The Hot Spot
      Sun, Dec 09, 2018, 01:04 AM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      Student with project

      The world is filled with all kinds of mysteries to unravel and fifth-graders at Greenvale are part of that exploration as they study nature and animals.

      Their science research project called, "Hot Spot Project", puts them in the hot seat as they present their findings to the class.

      Since October, the students have been examining different topics: endangered and threatened species, environmental issues like global warming and acid rain, and weather-related topics like hurricanes and tornadoes. Students are creating poster boards and presenting their findings to their classmates.

      Student with projectAnnabelle Rohr decided to study the Komodo dragon after she saw a picture of the reptile. "It was cool," said Rohr. She was intrigued that the Komodo dragon eats other animals. "But humans can actually pet them and help them," she said.

      Teacher Joseph DeCrenza discusses the project weekly with his class and the students use websites and books to learn more about their topic.

      "This is a science research project but it also assists the students with public speaking and Language Arts. They often discuss what they are doing with their families who become involved," said DeCrenza.

      Aiden Han researched the Giant Panda. "I like pandas because they look cuddly, but they really are not."  He said he enjoys this project. "It is fun to learn facts because you don’t know what you are going to do when you get older."

      Students ask questions during the presentations and write essays about what they have learned. The project will continue throughout the school year.

    • Meeting Our Students' Needs:
      Tue, Dec 04, 2018, 10:03 PM
      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      StudentWhen Hedi Bonorato walked into a classroom at Anne Hutchinson with her service dog Bleu, the children couldn't wait to get down to business.

      They trained Bleu to push an elevator button by holding out their hands and calling him. When Bleu pressed his nose against their palms, he received a treat.

      "Every day I am able to bring these dogs into the classrooms, I feel is a privilege for me," said Bonorato.

      Student with dogBonorato is the Founder of The Giving Retriever Program and she has been working with special needs students in the Eastchester School District for about four years.

       "I am the conduit for these children to be able to communicate and show their emotions which they might not be able to do if they didn't have these dogs."

      As part of The Canine Integrative Therapy Program, Bonarato visits Anne Hutchinson once a week for 30 to 40 minutes.

      When the dogs are fully trained they will be matched with families who have children with special needs. Training the dog benefits Eastchester students as well, by providing them with sense of fulfillment while teaching them about relationships.

      "The Canine Therapy Program assists children with their emotions and is a calming presence for them," Special Education Teacher Aaron Crug continued, "and the training provides the students with concrete skills and allows them to grow."

      Eastchester High School PTA Co-President Leslye Davidson wants even more students to benefit. "I heard that our entire high school brightened when Heidi's Canine Therapy dogs visited last spring," said Davidson. "I immediately knew that I wanted to broaden the therapy dog program to our general high school population to help address the stress and anxiety our kids face."

      The EHS PTA has raised funds for more than 10 therapy dog visits to the high school and the Canine Therapy Program will continue for second through fourth-graders at Anne Hutchinson.

    • The New Kid

      by Eastchester District Website Administrator.  

      3 PerformersAnyone who has ever been the new kid in school knows how hard fitting in can be. With peer pressure coming from just about every direction, making friends and feeling comfortable doesn't always come easy.

      Eastchester Middle School sixth-graders faced these issues head on in a non-threatening way Friday, November 30th, when the musical, "The New Kid", came to their school.

      The show produced by Random Farms Kid Theater tells the story of a boy who moves to a new school and is pulled in all directions from the Gangsta Squad and the Mod Squad – all to be cool.

      DancingEastchester Middle School seventh-grader Caitlyn Kops plays one of the lead roles.

      "It is really important to get the message out to people that it feels good to be kind," said Kops. "It is important to let them know about the issues that are happening."

      Middle School Principal Josh Elder said "The New Kid" supports the schools' overall curriculum of social and emotional wellness.

      Before the show started he told the students, "We pride ourselves in being caring and empathetic. We want you to be good students and equally good people."

      By the end of "The New Kid", all the children work together and understand that they need to be true to themselves advice the producers want all students to take home.

      Student helping at register

      Max Shearon sat behind the cash register at the Eastchester High School Café while his classmates Michael Bartley and Samuel Onukwue explained what treats were for sale that day. The students are members of the Life Skills Program and gain a sense of achievement every Friday when they work at the café, a large classroom located in the high school building.

      "I either sell the food or work the cash register. I like talking to the people," said Samuel Onukwue.

      Student"I smile and I thank people. I like meeting new people," said Michael Bartley

      Faculty members and administrators from both the high school and middle school have been stopping by for 12 years to end the work-week with a homemade cookie or brownie and a fresh cup of coffee.

      Special Education teacher Nora Flynn started the program. "I am so proud to see the students interacting with the members of our school community and working together. The skills they are learning will help them succeed after they leave high school," said Flynn.

      Two studentsThe students are involved with all aspects of the café including planning the menu, making shopping lists, taking inventory, buying supplies and assigning tasks.

      The café is open for about two hours and participants also play puzzles and word games with other students and teachers, some who come from other schools in the District. This interaction develops the students’ social skills.

      Students selling muffins and bagels"Over the years I have seen how our students have grown working in the cafe. The experiences that they are gaining build upon the work they accomplish every day in the classrooms and as part of our entire curriculum. This includes our School to Work Partnership where students receive job-training in the Eastchester Community," said Assistant Superintendent of Pupil Personnel Dr. Noreen Urso.

      Maggie Porcaro is a graduate of the Life Skills Program and is currently working in the Eastchester Public Library.
