Dear Friend,
I am writing to invite you and your students to participate in the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation’s children’s education program, Greenwich Village: History and Historic Preservation. This program, offered with three different and exciting curricula to tailor the experience to your classroom, teaches children in the first through eighth grades about the history of New York City. The program highlights the uniqueness of Greenwich Village’s historic architecture and the importance of preserving and learning from our past. For younger students, the program focuses on the history of New York City while introducing basic architectural concepts and terms. For older students, the program provides an enhanced understanding of architecture and history.
Since its creation, Greenwich Village: History and Historic Preservation has educated and delighted thousands of elementary school children in all five boroughs. The program is taught by qualified educators and functions as a wonderful foundation for the study of New York City history. The entire program conforms to and supports the NYS learning standards for Social Studies, English, Language Arts, and the Arts as well as fitting in the NYC Department of Education standards for arts teaching and learning.
Yours truly, The Greenwich Village Society for Historic
Preservation
