IGNITING THE SPARK OF GENIUS IN EVERY CHILD
SPRING 2013
TIMOTHY HOUSE TIMES The Fourth Graders Are Back from Washington D.C. ...And they are excited to share their stories with you! After a long 4 hour bus ride last month to Washington D.C., grade 4 was rewarded with a picnic lunch at the National Mall, and later went to visit three amazing museums. The 4th graders went to visit: The Natural History Museum, where they saw fossils and more. One of the favored exhibitions was the Gem Gallery, where the groups looked at amazingly cool gems and minerals. They even saw the Hope Diamond, which is said to be cursed. AIR AND SPACE The fourth graders also visited the Air and Space Museum, where there were planes and helicopters hung from the ceilings. Finally, one of the boys’ favorites: The American History Museum, where the original Flag of the United States is displayed. Later, the students went to a food court for dinner, before visiting the Lincoln and Vietnam Memorials. The Memorials were two places where the 4th graders could reflect on the thousands of people who died fighting for the freedom of this country. “This is a place where no matter what religion or belief the people were, they are honored and remembered here,” 4A student, Akash Chopra, said. After their exhausting first day, the 4A and 4B students got on the bus and went to the Sheraton hotel, where they’d be staying with roommates.
DAY TWO The next morning, at 7:00 am, they received annoying robotic wake up calls on the room phones. At 7: 30 am, they all met downstairs in the breakfast room for yummy bacon and scrambled eggs. By 8:00 am, the grade 4 students and their chaperones were getting ready to board the bus and start another great day in D.C.

They traveled to the The Capitol Building for a tour and The Library of Congress, which is considered the biggest in the world. The National Building Museum was another favorite, where the students visited the PLAY WORK BUILD exhibition and built structures with large foam blocks and shapes. “Play Work Build was really amazing,” said 4A student, Chloe Droumenq. DISCO BOWLING Later, they headed to Carmine’s for an Italian dinner, and then went to Bowlmor and had a blast bowling and dancing in the black lights.
