Reading and AIS students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades at Old Country Road had an exciting field trip on Monday, November 4th. They visited the Canstruction Long Island exhibit at RXR Plaza in Uniondale. It is a display of structures made from canned foods. The best part is that the cans are donated to feed families all over Long Island.
Why did Reading and AIS students go? The district’s LLI reading series includes the book Canstruction Creations. It explains the “behind the scenes” of the event, planning and building the structures, and the “how-to” of organizing and creating the community driven program. The students read it and were eager to see it in real life. They voted for their favorite creation, as well as estimated the number of cans used- approximately 49,000! What an amazing experience!
