Grade 7 students are seeing history come alive during their trip to Washington, D.C. They have already toured the National Air and Space Museum near Washington Dulles International Airport and Gettysburg National Military Park. Today they will be visiting the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Teacher Andy Johnson writes, “We had a super tour of the World War II Aviation section of the National Air and Space Museum where the kids were able to see the Enola Gay up close, as well as the Arado Ar 234, which was the world’s first operational jet bomber built and used by the Germans in the latter stages of World War II. We also walked around a shuttle and saw more incredible aircraft from our history.
Our day in Gettysburg included a tour and lunch on Little Round Top. Everyone had plenty of time to think about the men of the 20th Maine and 15th Alabama. In the evening, we made our way from Georgetown University where we are staying to Embassy Row and enjoyed the sunset in view of the National Cathedral.
It was a long, but great day. The kids are going to sleep well tonight.”
