The students have chosen their landmark/monument/point of interest and the excitement has begun. Each student is responsible to research a sight in Washington, D.C. and become the class expert on that important place. Over the next month and a half, we will be examining some of the places we may encounter on our trip and learning all we can about them before we get to see them in person.
The itinerary is beginning to take shape. I am working together with the 6th grade teacher from Heath Elementary School to coordinate those places that we will visit together. Seeing our nation's capitol together will help students from both schools create some new friendships that will likely carry over as they enter Mohawk together.
At some point in late April or early May we will be having a mandatory meeting for all students and a parent to review all the rules and expectations of the trip. I will keep you posted as to when that will occur.
The countdown is on!
