OMG!!!!!! We are having an amazing time! The students have been engaged constantly as we visit all of the popular tourist sites. Our journey began with a tour of the Gettysburg Museum which kept the students attention. The students gained a wealth of rich history and insight about The famous Gettysburg address and much more. Believe it or not.............although it was raining and we had to walk a few miles to get to the actual cemetery the students had few complaints due to the great learning experience the students put personal feelings aside! We are so proud of our students.
The real life experiences our students have experienced is lifelong. The Close Up organization instructors are doing a fantastic job keeping the students engaged as well. We even have class talk or discussions on the bus after visiting memorials. Pretty cool, huh....................... ;)
Well off we go to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.................We'll check in later.
