Historical Philly
By Max
Philadelphia, Friday, November 9, 2018 It was a rainy day in Philly. All the fifth graders came stomping out of the bus. There first stop was National Constitution Center. The first thing they did at the constitution center was visit the temporary Alexander Hamilton. At that exhibit the fifth graders saw a model of the gun that Hamilton got killed with. The fifth graders also saw some letters that Hamilton wrote. In that exhibit there was a poster of Hamilton. The next exhibit they went to was called signers hall. In that exhibit there were statues of all the people who signed the constitution. After they enjoyed that exhibit they were going to see an interactive show called Living News. All of the fifth graders liked the show. Then a couple minutes later they had to go to another show called Freedom Rising It was not interactive but all the fifth graders liked it too. Everyone liked the museum but it was time to move on
All the fifth graders got split up into groups and Had tour guides to show us around Philly The next thing the fifth graders were off to see was the liberty bell. They learned that the Liberty Bell rang 13 times before it got cracked. The fifth graders learned that the crack got bigger because when the colonists tried to fix they made the crack bigger. They also learned that the Liberty Bell doesn’t ring anymore.
The next stop on our walking tour they visited was Independence Hall. The fifth graders Saw the Rising Sun chair. That chair is famous because it is where George Washington Signed the constitution. Also the fifth graders saw the room where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written. There was also a room that they saw were the colonists could have dinner and in that room they also kept guns for the Pennsylvania militia. The Liberty Bell also used to be held at the top of Independence Hall.
The next Historic site the fifth grader visited were courtrooms. One thing the fifth graders learned about was that the judges from the supreme court only came twice a year for 2 weeks each time. If you were accused of a crime and went to trial you would have stand in a holding cell. In this reporters eyes this was a great successful trip.
