The Library of Congress and the Capitol

The visit was last Saturday and it was divided into two parts.

 The first one was the Library of Congress, we saw this great building and were told about the underlying meaning behind many sculptures and drawings. We also saw Jefferson's private library, which is completely digitized 🙌. But the most important thing we learnt about is related to teaching... The library has lots of resources for teachers to use in their classrooms, even complete lesson plans. Today, in Supriya's class, we entered the webpage of the Library and could see some of the lesson plans in depth. They are very detailed and engaging.
The webpage is: www.loc.gov
And for reading resources: www.read.gov

Then we passed through a tunnel that led us to the Capitol (were we outside we would have to cross a street). We watched a short documentary on the history of the U.S. democracy and had a tour around the Capitol. In the central part of the building there are 100 statues, two for each state. There cannot be more than two statues for state. Such statues can be ex_presidents or other famous characters, who were originally from each one of those states.
