WHALE OF A TIME

via Brooklyn Based/The American Museum of Natural History

Summer heat is stifling in New York and sometimes it's impossible to get out of town.  For weekends like this, we get our beach fix by heading to the American Museum of Natural History.  Last month I wrote all about our trip for Brooklyn Based.  

Additionally, starting in September your child can enter the essay contest about the exhibit.  It's a great opportunity for your child to show off their non-fiction writing chops and the winners are divided by grade so they will all be competing against their peers.  The child will have to visit between September and January and submit the essay with school signatures.  But, this may be a good thing to get a start on the school year and ease out of the summer slump!

The LeFrak Class of the Month Essay Contest invites New York City students in grades K-8 to submit essays about their Museum visit to the LeFrak Family Gallery, where this fall they can experience Whales: Giants of the Deep.
