Draft 2

Dear Mr.,
 
     Thank you so much for chaperoning my group and me. I definitely had a good time when we were eating at the mall and when you were telling us about the exhibits in some places. One of the main reasons I enjoyed having you as a chaperon is because you were very good at keeping track of us. Another one of the many reasons is because you always were very energetic and fun to be around.

What I liked a lot was that you were very good at keeping track of us. Some chaperons were letting the kids wander around and kind of separate from the group, but not you, you were always watching us and making sure we were pretty close to you. I am very happy about that because other wise if you weren't watching over us all the time we might have gotten lost or taken. That is why I liked that you were one of our chaperons.

Another thing I liked  a lot about you being our chaperon was that you were very energetic! Some of the chaperons were like "ya, sure, this is fun." But not you, you were always like "ya! Let's go this way!" or "OO, look at THAT!". That is why I like that you were our chaperon because you were always happy and excited and energetic!

Thank you Mrs.Webb so much for helping taking care and watching over our group the whole week when we were in Washington D.C.! Go Nice Guys!

Sincerely,
Haileigh Grinkmeyer

What does Freedoms statue look like?

   This writing is incomplete it will be finished soon!

The bronze Statue of Freedom by Thomas Crawford is the crowning feature of the dome of the United States Capitol. The saute is a classic female dressed in flowing draperies. In her right hand she holds a sword; in her left hand she holds a shield of the united states with thirteen stripes. On her head she wears a helmet which is encircled with stars. On her side there is a brooch that holds up her dress that has "U.S." inscribed on it. Freedom stands 19 1/2 feet tall and is the tallest statue in Washington D.C., The capitol ask when people are building more statues that they don't build it any taller than freedom. Abraham Lincolns statue was built 19 feet tall and nearly was built taller.

What she stands on:

She stands on a cast-iron globe encircled with the words E Pluribus Unum. The lower part of the base she stands on is covered in wreaths and fasces.

Reading response

My opinion of Thomas. Is that he is afraid./ One reason I think this is because he is lifted out of a dark room and can only remember his first name. Another reason is because he hears voices . One time in the story he tried to think of were he came from which shows that this character might be scared. These are the reasons that I think the character is afraid.

Washington D.C. Trip Draft #2

    I love Washington D.C. don't you? The reasons why I liked going to Washington D.C. are because we got to go see the Vietnam memorial which my grand-dad and my great uncle fought in. Also we got to see the Natural history museum which I didn't have enough time to be in there. I also got to turn myself into a cave man. The last one that I really enjoyed was the air and space museum, me and my friends got to do a flight simulator and we got to see the Wright brothers plane.

     The reason why I liked the Vietnam memorial is because I got to examine all the people that my grand-dad and my great uncle fought with. I also saw some people who were crying cause the family members names were on the wall. My family got to see one of my mom's cousins name on the wall and we took a picture of it and sent it to her family members. We also saw flowers and roses and wreaths all around the wall.

     When we were in Washington D.C., my group also got to see the natural history museum. We definitely didn't have enough time to be in there and see all the exhibits. We were running all over the place and our chaperons had a hard time keeping up with us. My two favorite things that I admired that we got to see was the the exhibit were there was a machine that changed you into a cave man. I looked really weird when it changed me. The other thing I liked was the mummy exhibit were they had a bunch of dead people with bones.  My friends were really grossed out but I enjoyed it.

     The Air and Space museum was one of my favorites. It had a flight simulator that you could fly a plane. Me and my friend flue upside down a lot and shot random people and there houses. It was so funny and other planes were shooting us so it would jerk when they shot us. When we were upside down our hair went every were it was so crazy! When we got to see the Wright brothers plane it was antique and really cool. It was really amazing to see the first plane and you know what it looked like? Well it kinda looked like a bike with wings! The whole museum was really cool and I enjoyed it a lot.

     The whole trip was a lot of fun and craziness we had a really good tour guide and a great bus driver. The whole experience was amazing! I hope to go back some day and visit all these places and many more again.
