On Thursday, September 26, YCQ students kicked off the school year with a series of exciting educational trips. Second grade had a fantastic day exploring Marine Life at the New York Aquarium. Sixth graders visited Skyscape, an interactive Spy Museum for thrilling insights into espionage, while the Seventh grade visited the Intrepid Sea, Air, & Space Museum. The Eighth grade ventured to Ellis Island and the 9/11 Memorial to reflect on these important monuments of American history.
Trips like these provide invaluable opportunities for informal, hands-on learning, allowing students to engage directly with the subject matter and apply their knowledge in real-world settings. They also foster stronger bonds between students and teachers through shared experiences and collaborative activities.
YCQ students in the other grades are looking forward to their kickoff trips taking place in the coming days. A special thank you to Mrs. Shirly Pourad-Kaikov and Mr. Jacob Grossman for organizing these memorable outings that enrich the students’ learning and help build a sense of community.
