A River Runs Through It: Community Access to the Bronx River in Tremont and Hunts Point Matthew Bodnar May 2011 Rivers that run through urban areas are often neglected and forgotten. This is because the primary services that they provide for major cities are transportation and shipping.

Other waterways that could be assets for their communities are also sometimes overlooked. After living in the Bronx for three years, the only knowledge that I had about the Bronx River was that it ran through the forest in the Botanical Gardens.

  • 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.

The Cross-Bronx Double Cross: How the Cross-Bronx Expressway has Affected Pediatric Asthma in the Bronx By Catherine McNamara Fordham University AMST 3500. American Studies Senior Seminar Profs. Julie Kim and Oneka LaBennett Senior Thesis December 15, 2011 1 Abstract This paper will address the effect that the construction of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, in conjunction with specific government policies and practices, has had and continues to have on the inordinately high rates of pediatric asthma in the Bronx. Existing research on the subject tends to take a very segmented view. There has been much research done in the individual fields of the history of the Cross-Bronx Expressway and the Bronx’s subsequent demographic change; more recently, studies have taken note of the Bronx’s high asthma rates, the effect of various pollutants on children’s lung function, pollution rates in the Bronx, and the difference in asthma rates among different races/ethnicities.
