bats, and a real pumpkin.

In our Social Studies class we
are taking an imaginary trip to
many interesting countries. The
first one we visited was the ANA
zon River Valley in South America.
After we arrived in Belem, S. A.,
we wrote letters to our mothers.
Belem, Brazil
November 5, 1858
Dear Mothers:
We left New York HarbOr in the
morning. We sailed past Bedlos
Island and saw the Statue of Lib
erty. Then we went to explore the
ship. We had fun on it. Each room
has a bed, table. mirror, and some
chairs. The ship has a swimming
pool on it, but it is too cold to go
swimming in it. In two or three
days it will be warm enough to go
in.
The boat is like a small city. 1t
has large sitting rooms, soda shOr
where candy, soda water, and
other things are sold. Its dining
room has lots of tables covered
with white table cloths. 1t even
has a movie theater and barber
shop. AS we visited Cuba we did
not see much, but it was interest
ing.
Coming into port at Belem the
buildings looked like those at
home, but now that we are here
we find they are quite different.
There are many vines and trees
and plants around the houses. Some
of the sidewalks are paved and
some are not. Some of the natives
are selling fish and others are sell.
ing vegetables.
In the hotels the rooms are diff
ferent. There are nets over the
beds to keep out the insects.
We also find out that Belem was
the first to make rubber shoes, but
now we do not get rubber shoes
here because other countries sell
us rubber shoes from the rubber
they grow.
We want you to know we are
enjoying our trip.
With Love,

ceived, the compositions we have
written, and the art work we have
done
