The trip to D.C. is an overnight trip, which includes one night's lodging, night time security, transportation throughout the trip, and four meals. Students will be chaperoned by teachers and administration. By doing this, students learn how to be independent for a night and experience skills of responsibility, when not having a parent around them.
This trip is essential to studying United States History in 7th grade. Students, when visiting the nation’s capital, will experience the foundation of our nation's republic. When we visit Washington students will visit the Capitol, White House, and the Supreme Court building. These buildings are the function of our democracy. Students will understand the balance of powers between the three main branches of government and how each one checks each other. Students will learn about how laws are passed and vetoed. Each branch of government represents the ideals of the balances of power between the three branches of government. These ideals were written and discussed in the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence which tells about the need for no king but for representatives to represent the needs of the people of each state.
We will also visit the African American Museum and understand the needs for freedom and equality that were won during the Civil War and Civil Rights movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s. The War monuments will allow students to understand the real human sacrifice and dedication to serve our country in times of war. These basic ideals and understandings are studied and discussed in 7th and 8th-grade U.S. History.
