Today was a very exciting day for me! Guess where I visited!! That's it- the White House! For more than 200 years, the White House has been more than just the home of the Presidents and their families. Throughout the world, it is recognized as the symbol of the President, of the President's administration, and of the United States. Learn more about the White House at this address; http://www.whitehouse.gov/
All the teachers were excited to see the White House; Andrew Douch, Australia, Nathan Kerr, New Zealand, Mariella Paz, El Salvador, Dan Roberts, England, Ms. O' Connell and myself and Ronald Ddungu, Uganda.
I met a squirrel outside the White House. It is an American Red Squirrel. They eat the seeds of pine cones and are as known Pine Squirrels and Chickarees.
When Barack Obama heard that myself and Ms. O' Connell were in town he had to come and meet us! What an honour! We told him all about your great work on aviation. He was so impressed!
