🌍 Culture Share Saturday: New York

This week, we're exploring New York State—home to one of the world's most iconic cities!

🚇 New York has the world's largest subway system, with 472 stations. 
🗽 New York City (NYC) is one of the most famous cities in the world, known for its energy, landmarks, and cultural influence. 
🎷 Before NYC became famous for skyscrapers and Broadway, it was already well known for jazz music and horse racing, two important parts of its early culture.

📚 Classroom Activity Idea:
Ask students, "What makes your city or region famous?" Have them share one interesting fact with a partner or write a short paragraph comparing their hometown with New York.

💬 Discussion Question: If you could spend one day in New York, what would you most like to see or do?
