Welcome to our blog!

We are a first grade class, learning about the New York City subway.  Our school is called Manhattan New School (MNS).  Our school is on the Upper East Side, close to where they are building the 2nd Avenue Subway.

We will share our experiences from subway construction visits, expert interviews, museum visits, subway station visits, subway rides, and information we learned from books and other sources.  This blog will invite you into our classroom so that you can see the subway station we are building right here in school!

Check back with our blog often so that you can learn:

"How the subway moves and where we get electricity from." -Ben/Aidan

"What a Tunnel Boring Machine does." - Rachel

"How a subway is made." - Grace

"Where the New York City subway goes." -Mio

"About the new subway that is being built." -Ante

In our own words, we started this blog because:

"We want to tell the world what we did." -Anandi

"We want to share about the subway with everyone." -Gabriella

"We want want to learn about the subways more and share it with the world!" -Max

"We are doing a blog because we want to learn more about subways." -Javier
