Lincoln Memorial

Peggy & Kayla @ the site where MLK Jr. gave his "I have a Dream" speech on the Lincoln Memorial


Duckling community along the Mall












As we walked down to the Lincoln Memorial, our naturalist students enjoyed the community of ducks and ducklings basking in the setting sun. No less than 18 baby ducks and their parents gave the students a break from the brisk pace along the reflecting pool.


On to the Lincoln Memorial that was swarmed with other school groups. We counted and "ran" up the stairs to meet under the "Gettysburg Address" where we recited the address in unison as is traditon from years past.

Lastly the students counted off perfectly and off to Lynn waiting in just the right spot. She is truly amazing.

Mrs. W-S reported that we have walked 11686 steps this Tuesday May 25. That does not count Monday's trip to the Statue of Liberty.

After another 10:00 pm meeting, we will look forward to Wednesday, seeing the White House, the Renwick Gallery, The Capitol, and the National Zoo. Peggy showed us a special gift she hopes to donate to the White House Art Collection on behalf of the Colrain 6th Grade. We hope!
