  • W&W Summer 06 Print Layout.Pub
    Volume XLII, Number 2 - Summer 2006 The Many Names of the Lettie G. Howard, by Sam Hoyt In October 1969, American Heritage Magazine reported that on "September 1968, the schooner Caviare sailed up the East River to the [South Street Seaport] museum pier…" Thus began an almost 40 year, sometimes contentious, dia- logue as to the true name of the schoo- ner, involving a number of people. The primary question was whether or not Caviare was originally the Lettie G. Howard. Several facts were indisputable early on. Among them, Caviare was built by Willard A. Burnham (probably a rela- tive of current ASA member and builder Harold Burnham) at South Essex and launched in August 1891. In 1903 she was sold to the E.E.

  • Prospect Park Primary Source Packet
    PROSPECT PARK PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name Prospect Park Primary Source Packet INTRODUCTORY READING "Timeline." Park History. Prospect Park Alliance, Web. 28 Jan 2014. ADAPTATION In 1834, the City of Brooklyn was chartered, and during the next 30 years it became the third largest city in the country, following only New York (Manhattan) and Philadelphia. Thousands of European immigrants settled in the growing city and sprawling farms gave way to homes. At the same time public parks were gaining popularity in America. Beginning in 1858, the design team of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux transformed more than 800 acres of jagged rock into Central Park in Manhattan. It was the first landscaped public park in the United States. Soon after a movement grew in Brooklyn for a park of its own. Leading the effort was James Stranahan, a businessman and civic leader. In the early 1860s, Stranahan argued that a park in Brooklyn "would become a favorite resort for all classes of our community, enabling thousands to enjoy pure air, with healthful exercise, at all seasons of the year…." Calvert Vaux sketched Prospect Park’s present layout for Stranahan. Vaux convinced Olmsted to join the effort, and construction of the park began on July 1, 1866 under their supervision. Olmsted and Vaux’s plan included rolling green meadows, carriage drives with scenic lookouts, waterfalls, springs and a forest. Organized sports gained popularity throughout the first half of the 1900s and the Park continued to host parades and celebrations that drew huge crowds. Parks Commissioner Robert Moses opened the zoo, bandshell and several playgrounds in the 1930s.

  • Key Concept Overview Sample Problem
    GRADE 2 | MODULE 7 | TOPIC A | LESSONS 1–5 KEY CONCEPT OVERVIEW During the next week, our math class will learn to sort pictures and information into categories and to record that data in a table. We will also learn to create and use picture graphs and bar graphs to organize and represent a data set with up to four categories per graph. We will discover that organizing information this way makes it easier to compare and use data to answer questions and solve problems. You can expect to see homework that asks your child to do the following: ▪ Sort pictures into categories to complete a table with tally marks or numbers. ▪ Use data from a table to create a picture graph that includes a title, symbols, categories, and a legend, and use the data to answer questions. ▪ Use data from a table to create a bar graph that includes a title, categories, and a scale, and use the data to answer questions. ▪ Write comparison questions based on data from a table or graph. For example, “How many fewer animals are reptiles than mammals?” SAMPLE PROBLEM (From Lesson 2) Use the grid paper below to create a picture graph with data from the table. Then, answer the questions. a. How many more animals are Title: Central Park Zoo Animal Classification mammals and fish than birds and reptiles? 7 11 + 5 = 16 6 + 3 = 9 16 – 9 = 7 b. How many fewer animals are reptiles than mammals? 8 11 – 3 = 8 Birds Fish Mammals Reptiles Legend: Each stands for 1 animal.

  • Nyc's Waterfront Parks
    NYC’S WATERFRONT PARKS Does Central Park make you think: ―Been there. Done that?‖ Then head to the waterfront. Even New Yorkers are just discovering some of these new green getaways. And with those helpful city bike lanes, doing a tour from one to the next is a great full-day outing, with one-way bike rentals available at key spots along the route. If biking isn’t your thing just hit the park to walk, kayak, watch stunning sunsets, or try to catch a free event from spring to fall. The Hudson River Park This five-mile greenway park hugs the Hudson River from 59th Street to Battery Park. Although the park has a unified design, it’s divided into seven distinct sections that reflect the different neighborhood just across the Westside Highway. The star attraction here—especially for kids—is the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum at Pier 86 across from 46th Street. A few blocks south, The Circle Line and World Yacht offer boat tours of the Hudson. At piers 96 and 40, The Downtown Boat House (downtownboathouse.org) offers free kayaking. A classic summer experience is the free outdoor movies with popcorn are shown on Wednesday and Friday nights at Pier 54. Chelsea Piers, the mammoth sports center between piers 59 and 61 offers bowling, a driving range, ice skating, even trapeze classes. At Pier 66 Boathouse, you can take a two-hour $60 introductory sailing course with Hudson River Community Sailing (hudsonsailing.org) The park also sponsors free tours and classes including free fishing.
