  • Three Rivers of Yonkers a Curriculum for 4Th and 5Th Grades
    Three Rivers of Yonkers A Curriculum for 4th and 5th Grades Lesson plans, resources and maps: An interdisciplinary approach to urban environmental education in the classroom focusing on the Hudson River, Bronx River, and Saw Mill River. © Produced by: Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak in partnership with Yonkers Public Schools (2015) Introduction The “Three Rivers” curriculum was designed and developed in partnership between the Yonkers Public Schools (www.yonkerspublicschools.org) and the Sarah Lawrence Center for the Urban River at Beczak (CURB) www.centerfortheurbanriver.org . The Three Rivers of Yonkers curriculum offers six interdisciplinary units of study that align with the New York State Common Core Learning Standards. This curriculum was created Tby a team of teachers from Yonkers Public Schools with support and guidance from the District’s administration, and staff from the former Beczak Environmental Education Center and the Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak. This new curriculum will help stimulate students’ interest in science at an early age and will encourage students to become stewards of the Hudson, Bronx, and Saw Mill Rivers. It is hoped that it will also motivate students to develop life-long habits of environmental citizenship. Of the six units, three are designed to be taught at the end of grade four and three at the beginning of grade five. Each unit is composed of four lessons connected to one another through an “essential question” that directs the themed investigation of the topic. Each lesson integrates English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies as well as the usage of technology and art.
