A Pueblo West High School teacher described an academic trip to New York City planned for AP and IB students, emphasizing curricular ties to literature, history and science.
Sheila Sloan said the group—55 students and accompanying teachers from science, math, English, social studies and business—will study themes such as “liberty, legends, and literature.” Planned stops include the Hudson River Valley, Hyde Park (Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt sites), Sleepy Hollow, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Schomburg Center in Harlem, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. The trip will include a boat component on the Hudson River and lessons that teachers will bring to in-field experiences. Students will stay in Brooklyn and attend a Broadway show and other culturally focused activities.
Sloan framed the trip as an interdisciplinary opportunity to connect classroom lessons to historical sites and primary sources; she did not request board action or funding during the presentation. No vote or district funding commitment was recorded in the meeting minutes.
