Museum Visit Optional Enrichments

Our fourth quarter museum visit enrichment has a few options.  Students may visit Camp Shanks in Rockland County, (WWII), the Museum at Bethel Woods (1960's) or the WWI Propaganda Poster exhibit when it opens in the spring at the New-York Historical Society.  To partake in this opportunity, I will provide a museum visitation guide for students to complete at the museum and to get signed by museum staff.
