      Students engaged in Maker Space activitiesFourth-graders at Greenvale twisted, twirled and tied pipe cleaners together on September 19, to build a free-standing tower. Before the students started the activity, teacher Toni Gamils told the class, “You may think this is easy, but it not.”

      The Makerspace Project teaches the students about collaboration, communication and perseverance.

      Classroom photo of Maker SpaceEach team drew a design and then started constructing. They were soon told that they could only use one hand to complete their tower and when they were allowed to use both arms again, they couldn’t speak. The students motioned to each other and wrote down directions.

      At first, some of the towers fell down and the student-engineers started over or made adjustments to their structures. You could see on their faces how serious they became when time started running out.  

      Students using trial and error to accomplish a taskMany of the groups revised their plan as they worked. “We had to add a really big base to balance it,” said Gianna DiArco.

      A group of four students who named their team, “The Best Builders” created the tallest pipe cleaner tower standing 24 inches tall. Their strategy represented teamwork.  “We all wrote down what we wanted to build and then we made one project,” said Daniel Lucente.

      Students working on messagesStudents in Jennifer Rogan’s fifth-grade class at Anne Hutchinson weren’t even born on 9/11 but she wanted to teach them what happened that day with a focus on the good that sprung from the tragedy.

      MessagesThe students created a wall of Everyday Heroes where they wrote about a person in their lives and chose an inspirational quote that they then wrote on a cut-out of two towers.

      The class read books leading up to the anniversary that included “The Man with the Red Bandana”, “Fireboat” and “Saved by the Boat” to spread the message of kindness which is also Anne Hutchinson’s ethical value of the month.

      Daniela Lopez chose her 15-year-old sister Alejandra who makes her feel safe when she is scared. “She tells me everything is going to be alright and don’t think about it.”

      Michael Maltese wrote about his dad who encourages him in sports and cooks him food.

      The quote, “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal,” resounded with him. “I felt bad for people who lost their families,” he said.

      Teaching about this period in history can be a challenge. “I wanted them to see the positive that came from such a difficult time,” said Rogan. “I wanted the students to know about the selflessness that followed.”

      Other students chose their parents and grandparents who support them as their heroes.

    • A Book and a Bite to Eat

      Getting books from mobile libraryEastchester Middle School students now have the opportunity to find a good book during their lunch periods.

      Eleanor Schuster, the middle school librarian, set up a mobile library in the cafeteria for a second year.

      Enjoying a good read“This is a fun way to promote books,” said Schuster, “and one more way to get to know the students as they become part of the middle school.”

      Reading a bookSeventh-grader Alexandre d’Epinay enjoyed the opportunity to browse the shelf and tables. “People don’t usually go to the library because it is down the high school hallway. This offers a variety of different books.”

      Schuster may get some assistance from her Library Squad to provide just the right selection. The group of students join her during lunch periods at least once a week and traditionally have talked about books, made bookmarks and re-stocked the shelves.

    • Google Educator

      Congratulations to Greenvale third grade teacher Natalie Malone who completed Google training this summer and has achieved the distinction of Level 2 Educator.

      Malone started digging deeper into Google four years ago when she attended a Google Bootcamp. She then enrolled in the Google Fellowship program offered by the Eastchester School District two years ago where she and other faculty members learned more about what Google offers.

      Malone knew that the Eastchester School District was transitioning to a Google platform. “I wanted to make sure I understood how it worked and I enjoy computers.”

      She completed a program at home during the summer of 2018 to become a Level 1 Educator. That course teaches the philosophy of Google with a focus on collaboration and knowledge of how its tools work.

      This summer, Malone attended a class at SWBOCES to discover more. “My goal was to have a solid understanding of Google,” said Malone. “I feel like the summer is a really good time for teachers to catch up on some of the behind the scenes work.”

      She already uses Google Classroom to streamline how her young students search the internet and utilizes the Epic digital library. Another application, Screencastify allows her students to create videos for slide presentations that Malone uploaded to Google classroom.

      “The fact that third-graders are able to help each other is amazing,” she said.

      Malone’s goal this year is to improve how students can further benefit from Google classroom.
