The Experience
Jade Ward
My experience in Washington D.C was amazing. We
got to see the Washington monument, Martin Luther King J.R memorial the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldiers, all the Smithsonian museums, took a boat cruise to Mt.
Vernon to see George Washington’s mansion and saw the slave quarters, Vietnam
memorial. The Martin Luther King Jr. memorial is important because he stood up
for civil rights. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is important because it
honors people who lost their lives for our country and us. My favorite thing
there was all the Smithsonian museums. Some requirements are to use your
manners and follow the Simmons expectations all year long.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Washington D.C.
Reporter:
Camilla
Hello! I am going to tell you a little about my experience in
Washington D.C. The one thing I will remember about D.C. is the Wreath lying at
the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. My experience at Washington is very exciting,
I hope you enjoy. The bus ride to Manassas, VA felt very long, I waited and
waited, but still 5 hours left! When we finally arrived in Manassas, we checked
into our hotel room at Holiday Inn Express. In the morning, we started our
activities! Some things we did in Washington was, A cruise to Mount Vernon,
which I got to take a house tour of George Washington’s home, and explore what
things looked like in the 1700’s. Other things we got to do in Washington was
to Visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, and visit the Lincoln Memorial,
which had SO many stairs, and much more! My favorite part of the trip was
seeing the Washington Monument, I have always dreamed of seeing it and my dream
came true!!! Some requirements needed to go on this trip are:
· Get
exceptional grades
· Have
responsibility
· Follow
Simmons Expectations,
Be Respectful, Responsible,
Do my Best at all Times.

Are We There Yet?
Brody Young
What was it like to go to D.C.? It was awesome going to D.C. I got to carry the wreath at Arlington at the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. My escort was tall and scary and I had to walk
through the rain. We also saw George Washington’s home, Mt. Vernon and we saw
where the slaves slept and where they were buried. We also where George
Washington and his wife were buried. We saw inside his house/mansion. We also
went to the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and the WW2 Memorial. That
is what it was like going to D.C.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Washington D.C.
By: Lucy
Hey guys! I’m going to
tell you what the 5th graders did in D.C. Some things we did in D.C.
are: we saw and toured the Capitol. In the capitol you get to sit in the seats,
where the Representatives vote, which is called The Floor of The House. We also
went to go see the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier. If you stand there for an hour,
or near the next hour, you can see the guard switch places with another guard.
Make sure you are totally silent there. We also got to ride a boat to MT. Vernon.
Anyways I hope you 4th graders are looking forward to your D.C.
trips.

Our Louisville Trip
Estefania
Have you ever been in
Louisville? Well, I have, when I got there I went to the slugger museum and we
went to Luigi’s. Then we went to the science museum. Next we had free time. We
explored for a long time then a scavenger hunt and lights out… I
called my mom at midnight. Next…we ate breakfast it was orange juice and cereal.
We went to explore more and we ate Subway. We saw the Thunder Jets. It was
awesome and we saw the Muhammad Ali center. I was glad I went to the slugger museum
and science museums.

Washington
D.C
My
experience in D.C was amazing.
We
did many fun things like explore different Smithsonian’s and different
monuments we saw the iwa jima, Washington monument, the Vietnam memorial and
many more. Some of the Smithsonian’s are air and space, natural history and
American history. Another thing we did was we went to tour the capitol and sit
where the house the house sits and also we went to the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier. the unknown soldier is the remains of
soldiers that they don’t know who they were but make sure you be respectful
I
HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR TRIP TO DC!!!!!!!
