Upcoming Field Trips

So I promised the kids I would start planning some field trips....

• First trip will be to see Disney's TOMORROWLAND.  We will be going on Wednesday, June 10th.  The movie cost $7.29 and of course if you want your child to buy anything from the concession stand, they can bring extra money for that too.  Permission slips will go home Friday and money is due Tuesday so I can pre-order the tickets online to make sure we get seats!   The movie is at AMC Magic Johnson Harlem 9.   WE will be taking the Subway from 168th and getting off at 125th, and then walking the block over to the theater.  We will start heading out around 10AM.  The movie starts at 11AM.  It is about 2 hours and 10 minutes long, so we will probably be done at 1:15 and get back to school right around 2PM.  If you want to check out the website - it is right here Tomorrowland Movie Link

I will need 2 adults to chaperone as well.  If we have more, great, but I must have two!  Who feels like going to see a great movie that PERFECTLY shows the kids what a narrative looks like where the main character has a problem the have to overcome that is solved with an UNIQUE TWIST... this is by the way what their next PBA will be for Unit 4A that we will start writing next week as well!

• The second field trip is my favorite field trip I take kids on.  We will be going on Wednesday, June 17th from 10AM - 2PM.  It is a FLOWER Scavenger hunt along The High Line.  The website for The High Line is here.  We will take the A train down to 14th street and then walk from 8th Avenue down to the High Line.  The kids will be given a packet separated by area of The High Line.  They will have pictures of different native New York flowers that MAY be in each section.  If they find it, they circle it and their group can take a picture of it (or any of the flowers, friends, or fun they are having).  We will stop along the way and eat lunch at 10th avenue overlook before finishing our walk down to 23rd street before walking back to 8th Avenue and the C train.

I will need 2 adults to chaperone, but honestly the more who can come, the better.  I will warn you, it is a lot of walking and if the sun is out, it can be hot because there isn't a lot of shade, but there are so many beautiful spots along the way you will LOVE it!  Please let me know if you are willing and able to help "heard" the kids along the High Line as they have their scavenger hunt.

• The final trip, if we take make it, will be Wednesday, June 24th and will be a "fun day" in Central Park.  We will take the C train to 81st street to take a trip back in time to Belvedere Castle and a glance at THE TURTLE POND, and then walk over to the Great Lawn for a day of play and picnic.  

I will need at lest 2 adults to chaperone, but the more who can come, the better.  Again, a lot of walking and if the sun is out, it can be hot!  Please let me know if you are willing and able to help watch the kids as they experience one of the most beautiful places in our great city!
