Now that Spring is here and ths
birds are returning from the South
our class has become interested II
birds. We have started little uni
concentrating on the different kinds
of birds, their names, what they
look like, and something abou
them.
Mrs. Kunkle, our art teacher, has
been big help to us in the draw
ing of these birds. Mrs. Bennett, oul
music teacher, has been very help
full too. She has taught US several
songs about birds.
We have enjoyed writing little
stories about the Cardinal Blue Jay
Robin, and The Oriole. This is 6
sample of one of these stories:
Once upon time there was 6
little bird. He was an Oriole, and
he was all drssed up in black and
orange. He had four brothers and
sisters, and a mommy and daddy
They all lived together in a little
red and white birdhouse.

Our Trip To Philadelphia
We got up early in the morn,
And got dressed so nice and neet
1t surely made us all forlorn,
When we heard the rain beat.
We went to Independence Hall,
We saw the Liberty Bell inside.
We didn't hear it ring at all,
But 1t is very big and wide.
Next was Christ Church,
The Franklin Pew, and many more
For Betsy Ross's Pew we searched
The chandelier was there in 1744
To Petsy Ross's House we went,
Where our nations flag was made
Sometimes her needle broke and
bent,
But her courage never did fade.
At the Academy Of Natural Sciences
We saw reptiles, fowl and mann
mails,
Gems worn by Hoyalty's Highest,
About these things we could write
annals.
In the Franklin Institute
Scientific wonders we did see,
The Planetarium where they shoot
Onward to the moon, you and me.
At the Delaware Dining Room we
ate,
AS homeward bound we came,
For this food we could hardly wait
We were hungry, but still not lame
Our trip to Philadelphia
We won't ever forget,
AS we go along our way
This day we will never regret.

We had spent much time in
planning our Philadelphia trip. The
day finally came for us to go, April
IL, 1858. We left our school at
1900 a. m, that morning, all excited
and eagerly awaiting each thing
we were to see.
On our three hour bus ride we
saw many things. We passed the
Dover Air Force Base where we
saw a plane getting ready for
takeoff. We passed many towns,
some little and some big. We saw
many children on their way to
school. We passed many trucks
carrying many different supplies,
chickens and furniture. We passed
many fields that were being pre-
pared for planting. We crossed big
bridges. We travelled along the
Delaware River. We saw the In
ternational Airport where a hell
copter was flying around. Then we
were in Philadelphia and began
looking for the statue of William
Penn atop the City Hall. Some of
the other girls and boys will tell
about the places we visited in
Philadelphia.

Independence Hall
Our first stop upon our arrival
was Independence Hail., Congress
Hall and the Supreme Court Build
ing. In Independence Hall we were
very interested in seeing the Liber-
ty Bell. where the guide told us
many interesting facts about the
bell. 1t was also thrilling to see
the assembly room where the great
men. of our Country sat and dis
cussed our indepenence and free
doms. Our guide then took us into
Congress Hall where he again told
us many facts that are known about
this building. We then went to the
Supreme Court building in which
are many interesting displays. We
think everyone should take tour
of this place, place so rich in the
historical markings of our nation.

Christ Church
Next we visited Christ Church.
We saw many interesting things.
Here are some historical facts a
bout the church. Christ Church
was organized in 1895. The present
building was begun in 1927. 1t is
one of Americas outstanding ex-
amples of Georgian Church Ar
chitecture. The chandelier has been
in use since 1744, and the wine
glass" pulpit since ITO.
