Last week Ithaca's Fall Creek Elementary School 5th graders had the exciting experience of visiting our Career & Tech Education Construction Trades students to learn how to build bird houses!đŚ
The students got to work collaborating as they drilled and hammered away until they had fully constructed bird houses that'll one day be called home by our feathered friends. It was such a fun shared activity that allowed hands-on learning to truly soar! đ¨đŞ˝
Special thanks to TST Regional School Success, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Cornell Cooperative Extension for bringing everyone together and making this experience possible! đ

This morning, kindergartners from South Hill and Enfield Elementary visited the Tompkins County Public Library as part of Kids Discover the Trail! (KDT!) Ithaca, a program that has connected ICSD students to their community for more than 20 years.
What started in 2004 has grown into a defining part of the elementary experience, giving every student hands-on learning opportunities at Discovery Trail sites across Ithaca. A unique part of the program is the Buddy Up initiative, which pairs students with peers from another school, helping build connections that carry into middle school and beyond.
