I arrived at DHS Sunday morning at 4:00. All students were ready to go at 5:00 so I sent everyone to their cars and went back to my room to lock up. When I came back to the front, all the cars were gone! I was alone at DHS! Lucky for me that Mr. Erba and Ms. Knight came back and I was soon on my way to meet the students at the airport. No problems checking in. Flight left on time and was smooth sailing all the way into Baltimore. Arrived at the Marriott at Key Bridge. Nice Place. After checking in, we walked to the Iwo Jima monument. This was way too cool. I tried to explain how important this was to U.S. History but all the students wanted to do was take pictures. Next we walked to Arlington cemetery and saw Kennedy's grave site and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Very Impressive! I'm glad I make students memorize part of JFK's inaugural address because reading it at the gravesite made quite an impression on the students. We saw the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We all really enjoyed this. The long walk was worth the effort. Catherine suggested that we take the subway back, which was a smart idea. Dinner and classes tonight. Big day tomorrow.
Students in my classes- have fun with all the work. We are really "getting down" in D.C.
