It has been a few years but we are finally returning to Calvert Cliffs. The day will include some hiking through the woods, bird watching and wildlife observations and an afternoon on the sandy quarter mile beach. In years past our students have even collected some fossils there! Go to our schedule in Week 1 to learn more about what we will see as well as what to bring!

Our tour with D.C. will start at the Lincoln Memorial. From there we will visit most of the memorials along National Mall. We will eat lunch inside the Air and Space Museum and visit their exhibits including the new "Area 51" exhibit. In the afternoon we will be going to Arlington National Cemetery. We will visit JFK's "eternal flame", The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier amongst other stops.
The spire on top of One World Trade Center is complete! 1,776 feet tall! Amazing few this morning! I can't wait for our students to see it in person this June! Any ideas as to why it is exactly 1,776 feet!?
I have scheduled our first trip this summer! As promised, NYC was first on the agenda. We will start the day in the Bronx with a tour of Yankees Stadium and its museum. The curator of the museum is Brian Richards. His uncle is our tour guide of Gettysburg each year in fifth grade and suggested we add this to our NYC tour! After that we will take a short trip to Central Park for lunch. From there we will head down to The High Line. This will be our third stop on The High Line for B.E.E.S. I found out about this great destination in our "Time for Kids" magazine. Each year they have added on to the trail. We can't see how far they have come since our last visit in 2011! We will end the day with a stop at the Ground Zero Memorial. The students and staff were very moved by our visit there two years ago. This is now one of the biggest moments of American history and something that occurred before most of our students were even born. Click on all the links to learn more!
