History Comes Alive: 7th Graders Spend a Day of Learning and Reflection in Washington, D.C.

Connecting classroom learning to real-world history!
7th graders spent the day in Washington, D.C., beginning at the National Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism, where they reflected on the courage and resilience of Japanese Americans during World War II. They then visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, where students deepened their understanding of the human stories and lessons behind one of history’s most profound tragedies.
 
After lunch at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, students explored the National Mall, visiting landmarks such as the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial—culminating with a group photo to commemorate a day of experiential learning, active engagement, and reflection.
