TAKE THAT HILL!! TAH attend a breakfast hosted by Diane Fienstien this morning for a meet and greet. We were able to meet her staff and discuss some of our pressing issues with them. They were very helpful and passed out business cards and asked for us to email all concerns to her office. It always feels great to know that our democracy is alive all you have to do is stand up and take part.We went to the Library of Congress, where I picked up my LOC passport which allows you to tag images/documents/interactive presentations from the library and emails them to you. THIS IS A TEACHER'S DREAM TOOL!!! Their website has always been very hard to navigate and search. At the Library they had everything organized by theme! My Founding Father's Unit will be rocking from the cyber airwaves. This is amazing supplemental and core curriculum, I be using it ASAP.
Back to the Capitol for a tour and Senate Gallery Seat. I don't normally question Mason building skills, but really, having the entire dome and Lady Freedom supported by sandstone, really? As I heard many other Californians saying, "They don't have earthquakes around here!"
Next stop, the National Postal Museum where I picked up several books; Letter's from a Slave Girl, Owney, Letter's from Vietnam. I also learned about how the Postal Service started, dealt with urbanization and expansion. History came alive through the letter's they had from immigrants and pioneers sent back home, amazing!
