Narrative: Project Reservoir

It all started with a field trip. In late October, fourth graders from Room 118 and sixth graders from Room 224 had the opportunity to take a tour of Jersey City’s Reservoir # 3, the “hidden jewel” of Jersey City. Located only blocks away from the school in the Heights neighborhood of Jersey City, none of the students had ever visited the reservoir before. Most of them didn’t even know there was a reservoir behind the imposing stone walls surrounding the site. Walking through the entrance gate was like entering a fantasy world for the students…one that previously had existed only in books, pictures, and their imaginations.
