Welcome to

New York City

Why New York for our class trip?

New York is an endlessly diverse place. With all of the numerous museums and attractions, students can learn everything from history to biology to architecture.

Every second of the weekend long trip will be educational, whether it be learning academic or life skills.

Join me for a tour of all my favorite places in the Big Apple

New York, New York… So nice, they named it twice

STATEN ISLAND FERRY

The ferry runs non – stop between Manhattan and Staten Island for commuters, but it also makes for a good, free location for sight-seeing!

Students will be able to appreciate the city view, and see the Statue of Liberty up close.

BROOKLYN BOTANICAL GARDEN

The Brooklyn Botanical Garden is comprised of several gardens within a garden.

The main attractions are the Cherry trees and Japanese Hill and Pond Garden.

Students will be able to learn about the different species of flowers.

THE CLOISTERS

The Cloisters, located at the tip of Manhattan, is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The collection at the museum is medieval art, primarily from between the 12th and 15th centuries.

The museum and park were founded by John D. Rockefeller.

Rockefeller also purchased the entire space of land across the river, adjacent to the park, to maintain the picturesque view.

OTHER GREAT SPOTS IN NYC

Central Park, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Guggenheim, The Lower East Side Tenement Museum, Battery Park, and The Empire State Building are all amazing places that are “must sees” while in New York.

All of these places are educational as well as historic, and the students would only benefit from visiting them.

In Conclusion… With all of New York’s endless

possibilities, this trip would be culturally fulfilling, informative and exciting for the students.I wish I

came to New York

when I was student!

The End!
