Black History Month Living Museum

Knowledge is power and, thanks to Grade 5 classes at Laurel Plains Elementary School, all Eagles are learning something new! During the annual Black History Month Living Museum, fifth graders spoke about a number of prominent African Americans and their contributions in fields like politics, science and medicine. Our younger Clarkstown CSD students were very impressed and inspired by not only the subjects of these presentations, but the research skills of their peers as well.

Building Sea Turtle Nest Protections

Students Laurel Plains are building sea turtle nest protections! Second graders followed the four steps of the design process — ask, imagine, improve and create — to develop structures that could potentially solve a real-world issue. "We are exploring animals in Grade 2 Enrichment," said teacher Karen Tenzer. "Students are building knowledge by actively exploring sea turtles and the problem of them being endangered." Even though each child received the same materials, the finished products were so unique and all effective!
