Last week’s trip to Old Westbury Gardens was terrific!  We toured the mansion of the Phipps family and the students related what they knew about that time period to our tour guide.  I was so proud of their participation.  After lunch, we walked the beautiful grounds and looked for patterns in nature.  It was a great experience!  I highly recommend visiting Old Westbury Gardens with your family, there is so much to see and do there.
