On March 22, 1-304 went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art! It is a HUGE museum with art from all over the world! We learned that art has a lot of shapes. We looked at sculptures, similar to statues, and we even got to make some of our own with different materials!

On March 12, 1-304 went to the Sunset Park Recycling Center. We learned so much about why we should recycle and how to recycle. We practiced sorting cans, bottles, paper, and trash. Waseem said, "I went home and told my family how to sort the recycling." It was a hands-on and fun field trip! Thanks, Ms. Quinn, for hosting us!

On February 23rd, Alma hosted the whole first grade! We went for research for our restaurant unit. We learned about roles at a restaurant and vocabulary. For many, it was the first time to go to a restaurant or eat Mexican food. HUGE thanks to Dahlia's family for arranging everything! We loved it!

In November, 1-304 went to the Museum of Modern Art. We had three visits from our MoMA expert Ms. Kristen before and after our visit to get us ready. On our visit, we talked about a few different pieces of art and we were even able to sketch one of the pieces to bring home!

1-304 went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in October. We researched many different kinds of plants for our Leaf Unit!

On Tuesday, February 2nd, 1-304 ordered take-out from Cafe Zona Sur for snack. Rachel and Ms. Zhang called Cafe Zona Sur to place an order for six french fries. We counted our money to make sure we had enough (thank you parents!) and we walked over. Students observed the restaurant while we waited for our food: the ceiling, the tables and place settings, the cash register, the music, the menus, the people eating, etc. We were very respectful of other people who were also there to enjoy Cafe Zona Sur's wonderful food. This trip helped with our research for our Restaurant Unit and gave many of us inspiration for review writing in Writing Workshop. Below are the pictures of us eating "family style" to get ready for our field trip to Alma! Delicious!
