Washington, D.C.

Last week I had the pleasure of chaperoning the 5th grade trip to Washington, D.C. The students represented Club Boulevard well and learned so much about our nation's capitol! Some of the highlights of our trip included: visits to the Smithsonian Museums; touring the Capitol building and meeting with Congressman David Price; visiting the Lincoln and Vietnam Memorials at night; dinner at Union Station; and seeing the Dr. King Memorial and the White House. It was an action packed trip!

Below, please enjoy 2 slideshows. The first is a slideshow of pictures and the second is a short compilation of videoclips. Both will give you a taste of what the students experienced! For additional information, find a 5th grader to tell you more :)

Poetry Inspired by Romare Bearden

Mrs. Lopez's 2nd graders studied the art of Romare Bearden and wrote poems inspired by his art. We used Voicethread to record each student reading his/her poem. Turn up your volume and enjoy their wonderful writing!

Black History Month Living Museum

Last Thursday, 25 Club Boulevard students interacted as notable African Americans with students and guests at our Black History Month luncheon. These young actors from grades K-5 each researched a notable African American scientist, inventor, artist, historical figure, author/poet, entrepreneur, or musician and acted as that person to share important facts about his/her life. They did a fantastic job and we learned so much from them!

Please watch the slideshow below to see our young actors in action.
