First Graders Learn
History of NYC Transit
First graders visited the New York City
Transit Museum in Brooklyn recently. In
preparation for their field trip, the boys
studied various ways of travel throughout the
city. At the museum, they toured New York
City buses and old subway cars, and learned
the history of the subway and transportation
methods used prior to the subway being
built. The First Grade social studies program
focuses on the geography and landmarks of
New York City. Field trips such as this “make
real” the concepts discussed in class.
