While in DC, the students will act as our tour guides, giving oral reports as we travel to each place. They will also complete a scavenger hunt, leading them to particular items of interest previously studied. They will also meet with our current State Representative at the Capitol building for a question/answer session and a group photo. The purpose of the trip is to expose students to historical places and the daily workings of our Nation's Capital. Essentially, it will serve as a review and reinforcement of the 5th grade Social
