Philly Walking Tour

Philadelphia, November 9th, 2018
Heathcote’s 5th Graders break into groups, and start their walking tour. The fifth graders first went into Document Hall. In there, they saw the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. They were lucky enough to have a teacher come and talk to them about the three documents. After that, the fifth graders left Document Hall.
Fifth graders Daniel and Cyrus got separated from their group and went with another mom. But then, just in time, the heroic Ms. Boyer came to the rescue. After sprinting through the rain, Daniel and Cyrus finally rejoined their group.
The group then went into the building where the Liberty Bell is housed. What stood in front of them was a long hallway filled with pictures and captions. At the end of that long hallway, they saw history’s most famous bell, one that had a crack which was made bigger in an attempt to fix it – You guessed it! I’m talking about the Liberty Bell.
After taking pictures and bellfies, the group left exhibit and met up at the National Constitution Center, which had bathrooms that – in this reporter’s opinion – are absolutely luxurious! It had amazing sinks, clean urinals, and sanitary stalls! After that encounter, which the students would never forget, they got back on the bus, awaiting the long ride home.
