New York City has a wealth of field trip opportunties, especially for the teaching of American history. There are advantages and challenges to field trips. The LAH teacher leaders weighed in on this issue during their January session at the New-York Historical Society.  Please add a comment.

    Talk about field trips. On December 22, I took about 200 of the students at my school to the “Nutcracker” at the Apollo theatre in Harlem. It was a fantastic trip. The kids were so excited about going to the Apollo and the show was great. I recomend this trip for everyone next year. It was not only a fun holiday adventure but we also talked about the history of Harlem and the Apollo itself and the infamous Jazz Age of New York. The kids will definetly remember the info on the Harlem Renaissance because they can relate it to this experience of living history. It was an awesome fieldtrip. Next year I will post the flyer early so others can attend.
