October 23rd, 2008The fifth grade spent a cool autumn day at the Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park, as an introduction to their study of the Middle Ages through its art and architecture. The students participated in a guided tour of the Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and spent the afternoon having lunch on the grounds overlooking the Hudson River.
