Monuments

A monument is a structure built to commemorate (recall or show respect for) a person, place, or event. You can find monuments many places. Here are some famous U. S. monuments. 

This week write about a monument you have seen or heard about that you found interesting. Tell us why you thought it was so interesting.

I was lucky enough to be able to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I had seen many pictures but had no idea how large it was. When we climbed to the top, we could see for miles. We were so high up, the people below looked like little ants! Here is a picture I took of it so you can see just how large it is!

    I got to see the out side of the White house. It was really cool(what I could see anyway). Only a little bit was showing, so I only got to see the top half.I was standing on a hill, so I should have gotten to see the whole thing, but I couldn't:( I would say what was blocking the bottom half, but I can't remember.

    I don't remember seeing a monument. I like the Mount Rushmore monument though and hope I can go to South Dakota one day and see it. I think it is amazing that someone could do that on a rock.

    I don't remember seeing a monument. I think I saw a really big grave stone. I saw it at the grave yard I live right across from. It was really really really big.It was really old I think because it was really dirty.

    I saw the Seattle Space Needle and it spins while you eat. You get to see the entire city. The Space Needle is very TALL and when you go up it takes 43 seconds.
