  3. Dear Mr.Moore,

    Though it's a tiny detail, but the blackbird in the national air and space museum is the best in the museum.

    On the website Mr.Moore had gave us I looked on the paper map and I found number 8. It said they had a better website. So I pressed it and as I went down I saw some really interesting pictures. Here is the link: http://www.mnh.si.edu/onehundredyears/brief_history.htm

  10. Dear, Mr.Moore I learned that the symbol of the white house is one of the most important symbols in the world it tells everybody that presidents tried to help our country and make it better and also that everybody looks up and recognizes all the presidents that help build the country.

    A lot of the buildings on this website are amazing. Although when you click on the Smithsonian museum it says that the document is not found.

  14. Dear Ms. V.,
    Washington D.C. is not a state. D.C. means District of Columbia. Washington D.C. is our country's capital and the president is there.

  15. Dear Ms. Vander Velde and Mr. Moore,

    I know that Washington D.C is where the White House is, also I know that Washington also has the Reflecting Pool.

    I searched up what D.C stands for and it stands for, "District of Columbia." I got this information from:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006041611250

    I also learned that Washington D.C isn't a state. I learned this from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.

    I found this website about Washington, D.C:http://www.50states.com/dc.htm

  16. Dear Mrs. Vander Velde,

    I know that the president lives in the white house and that and there is a big pool. D.C means District of Columbia. Washington D.C is a state and Washington is a state too. I would like too learn the buildings there because there people that know a little bit more. Wow! If i got to go on a field trip there that would be amazing because your actually are getting to see this in real life.
