Take a Tour of the White House

Today , I am going to write about a website where you can take a tour of the White House. Once you get to the website there is a diagram of the White House and there are red squares at parts of the house which you can click. Once you clicked the red square, there is a big square that pops up and there is a recent picture of the place. Under the picture there are words that tell you who or what are in the picture. To the side of the picture is the name of the area and some information about it. Near the top of the page is a smaller diagram of the white house that shows different sections of the White House. You can click on one of the sections to go there.


There are also pictures and videos you can look or watch. You can also look up something about the White House you want to know and there is a list of information about the White House or what is in it.


I would recommend to go to "The Administration" because it gives you a brief summary of some people in the White House such as Michelle Obama. It tells you a bit of what they did before being in the White House.

Hey Herald readers!! Hope you all had a nice Spring Break and are ready to be back to learn!

Anyways, just some small reminders:

- Also, Hillwood's very first Annual Health Walk-a-Thon will take place next Friday on the 23rd of April! Be sure to get some sponsors. For the Walk-a-Thon, students will be accompanied by teachers and will walk to Crissy Field and back. We will have a BBQ lunch afterwards.

Well, have a nice day!

Peeps The Treat

There is a contest to take pictures of peeps, and judges pick the best. (Peeps are my favorite candies in Easter time.) Anyone, anywhere can enter with their parents help at the Shot Page on the National Geographic website. This contest is called Peeps in Places.

If you want to see last years photos click here. (There is also a photo gallery on The Washington Post'sinclude website. Thes images, showing homemade scenes, with peeps, were probably made by artistic adults.)

My favorite photo is the one in Yosemite because it reminds you how pretty the world really is. Last year's winner was taken in Hollywood, which is cute because they hold it up so the bunny is the Y in Hollywood.
