Amityville’s youngest learners at Northeast Elementary School spent the past few weeks learning all about animals. 

Students learned about different animals’ characteristics, life cycles and habitats. As part of Northeast’s unit on animals, some classes chose an animal of their choice, and together with their families, created a habitat for that animal. Each habitat featured a different theme such as farms, jungles, forests, beaches, and the deep blue sea.
