For the first trip of
the fall,
All our students went
to Independence Hall.
And we thought and
thought,
About the ones that
fought.
They wrote the
Constitution,
They started a
revolution,
At first they were small,
And then they grew
tall!
We had a bloody war,
Because freedom is worth fighting for.
Up on the battlefield
Hear that? Sounds
like victory!
So after this great
event,
They created the
dollar and the cent.
So our nation was
born, and our first President was born.
The first field trip is always the most
memorable of the bunch. This year the students took a trip to one of the most
famous places in America, also known as Independence Hall in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. To say it’s significant is a huge understatement. IT was the
place America was born. IT was where our predecessors once stood. On that field
experience we beheld the exact same room in which those thirty-nine men signed
one of the biggest “historical disruptions” yet. IT is still standing, from
1738 to today.
On this field trip we saw the original drafts of the
Declaration of Independence. Not only did we see the rooms and the documents,
we also learned a lot about it too. For example, we learned that the
Independence Hall was built around the time George Washington was born, in
1738. We also witnessed the courtroom they used. The accused citizen would
stand in a cage until the jury has made his decision.
In
conclusion, our school had a great time learning about the Constitution and the
history of the country in which are living in. This was truly an amazing
experience for my peers and me.
