When the students in Ms. Harrington's class got to school, they thought it would be just a regular school day. When they started to learn about New York City, it got a little more interesting, but when Ms. Harrington told them they were going on a class trip to New York, they couldn't believe it! Before their trip, the class explored New York City's history; learned about city habitats, from forests to beaches; discovered what New Yorkers do in their spare time; and found out about all the different foods people eat in the various neighborhoods of the city's five boroughs. The students' visit to New York City was more exciting than they had imagined. Ms. Harrington took them to the Statue of Liberty, a Broadway play, famous museums, the Empire State Building, and more. It was the best class trip ever!
