Westhampton Beach Elementary School first grade students recently held a Habitat Expo for friends and family. The expo was the culmination of an immersive science unit on world environments and a nonfiction writing unit. Each student researched a favorite animal from a chosen habitat, authored and illustrated their own nonfiction book and engineered a detailed, 3D diorama showcasing their animal in its natural environment. During the expo, the first graders read from their books and answered questions about their projects from family members and classmates.
