Join Us For An Extended Play Date Friday, December 11, 2015

New York City’s Botanical Gardens Train Show Join us for an extended playdate at New York City’s Botanical Gardens Train Show on December 11 while D-E is closed. Your child can join friends in exploring NYC’s favorite train show. This year, it is bigger than ever! A full day of fun activities is planned including a field trip to the NY Botanical Garden’s Annual Train Show. We are excited by the popularity of the day with our Lower School families and look forward to the children enjoying some great learning as well as fun with friends. Your child will marvel at G-scale locomotives humming along among familiar sights such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, and Rockefeller Center—surprising at every turn—on nearly a halfmile of track. This year’s exhibition features 3,000 square feet of additional exhibition space, making room for dozens of new trains, bridges, and tracks; a captivating short film of the show’s behindthe-scenes magic; and a stunning multi-sensory finale of light and sound. In addition, the students will investigate the wonders of amazing plants that really shine in winter! Children will use scientific inquiry skills to explore evergreen plant parts and take home a botanical specimen. They will hike the trails of the Adventure Garden as they go on a hunt in search of beautiful evergreen trees and shrubs.

Schedule for Friday, December 11, 2015 Children must bring a bagged lunch. We will have lunch at the Gardens. 8:00-8:30 am�������������������������������������������������������������������������Drop-Off 8:30-9:00 am�����������������������������������������������������������Prepare for trip 9:15-10:00 am���������������Board the bus and travel to NYBG 10:15-11:15 am��������������������������������������������������������������Train Show 11:15-11:45 am�������������������������������������������������������������������������Lunch 11:45-1:15 pm���������������������������������������������� Evergreen Express 1:15-2:00 pm����������Board the bus and travel back to D-E 2:00-3:30 pm�����������������������������������������������Snack and Free Play 3:30 pm�������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Pick-Up *Subject to change Registrations due by Wednesday, December 9, 2015 To Register and for Questions: Go to www.d-e.org/lower to register online.
