Ms. Bay's Spanish Class

Our students continued their investigation of Washington, D.C.'s rich history with an exploration of some of our most important historical monuments, including the Korean War Veterans Memorial and Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Afterward, they were able to visit the newly reopened Museum of American History. There, our students participated in a "Learning to Look" activity, during which they studied artifacts from our nation's history and reflected on their importance. The scholars were then led on a tour of an exhibit where they examined the seven different roles of an American President. They also stopped for a photo opportunity at the White House.

At each of these sites, our students learned how leaders use their "voice" to take a stand and make a difference. In the evening, they worked with their leadership members to create a social organization to serve as their own "voice of courage" for a special topic that impacts local communities. This final project tasked your students with using the new leadership skills they have developed at JrNYLC this week. Be sure to check in with them to hear about their leadership project!  MS.BAY
