Our very first field trip is just around the corner!! It is to Ellis Island on Friday, October 3rd and the whole grade is going together. Here are the details for the trip:
WEATHER:
Even though the weather has been fairly warm, children should bring a jacket or sweater as the ferry can be quite chilly and we are ending with an outdoor picnic in Battery Park. If rain is in the forecast please be sure your child has rain gear. The museum is indoors, but we will have to wait for the ferry outside. (Hopefully, we have a beautiful day, but if not we will return to the school for an indoor picnic.)
WHAT TO BRING:
The children should bring two bags: one, a snack and drink (which they may eat on the bus on our way to the ferry) and one, a lunch with a drink for when we return in Battery Park. Both should be in a backpack which will be left on the bus during our visit to Ellis Island (as security on the ferry does not allow them). Please no soda, glass bottles, or anything with nuts. They will not need to bring anything else.
PLEASE JOIN US:
You are welcome to join us. Please let me know as soon as possible, if you can indeed join us. Parents should meet us at the ferry (after buying your own ferry tickets) at 9:30. You can buy the tickets online or at Castle Clinton in Battery Park. We are leaving school at 9:00 and will take the first ferry we can make. We will be heading back to school around 2:00 to arrive by 2:30.
