Elementary students in Northport spent the week learning about Earth Day, which included constructing birdhouses made of recycled materials. The Norwood Avenue first graders constructed their designs in class, and finished creating them at home.  

The creative and thoughtful birdhouses were designed in first grade teacher Carol Mirabella’s class before being brought home to be constructed. District Chairperson of Science, Technology and Engineering shared that these “young engineers embraced the call to action reminding us that the Earth and its ecosystems must be cared for to support the planet’s incredible diversity of life!” 

Once projects were complete, students presented their work to the class, explaining what recycled materials were used and how the birdhouses were intended to function.
