Ice Skating at Rockefeller Center
Miracle and Che (and almost all of our students) are ice skating for their first time!
Ice Skating at Rockefeller Center
We surprised the students! We're about to go ice skating at Rockefeller Center!
Edward talks about a future career
Edward is asking our civil engineer friend Tyler all kinds of questions about what it takes to design buildings!
Touring the World Trade Center designs
We are getting a very special tour by the architects and engineers of the new World Trade center. Great aerial views of the memorial and scale models of the new buildings.

Dinner at Bill's Burgers!
After Top of the Rock, we headed to Bill's Burgers just a block or two away for amazing food including appetizers, entrees, and desserts. This was definitely a student favorite!
Central Park Street Performers
Just finished a 4D Movie at the zoo, now taking a break in Central Park. Miracle poses with the animated statue while the other students watch!
Scavenger Hunt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Che is filling out an answer to our scavenger hunt in front of Degas' ballerina sculpture. After lunch at the museum cafeteria, now we're off to the Central Park Zoo!
Met Reflections
Ms. G- Tim, what do you think about he met?
Edward- we are just killing this food
Tim- don't listen to him, it was a once in a lifetime experience.
