I thought that I would share the comments from the Cohoes School District about our first virtual field trip! Thank you, students, teachers, and Mr. Perry who joined in! I hope that many of the students will come to the Cohoes Visitor Center when we reopen!

Teaching and learning continues, virtually, at Harmony Hill School! Recently, Harmony Hill 4th Grade students enjoyed a virtual field trip to the Cohoes Visitor Center. Led by Mr. Chuck Mossey, they were greeted from the entrance of the center at Remsen Street and Oneida Street. Once inside, the students viewed the 1879 Map & Model of the City of Cohoes and watched the operation of Lock 38 of the Erie Canal. Mr. Mossey then demonstrated the Canal Lock Experience, and students were able to watch a model barge travel upstream and downstream through four lock chambers. Finally, they saw the Power System exhibit, including the belt and pulley system from Harmony Mill. All Fourth Grade students begin their year with a project based inquiry to answer the question, “Does Where You Live Matter?”. Thank you to Mr. Mossey for integrating the incredible history of our town with this guiding question of our curriculum.
