United States--Oregon and Pennsylvania

The neatest thing about Oregon, I thought, was Crater Lake.  It is the deepest lake in America and looks so pretty.  We learned about the Oregon Trail for our activity.  We read some books and then wrote a "round robin" story about traveling on the Trail. 

September 14, 1846



My family traveled the Oregon Trail from Missouri to Oregon.  We traveled by covered wagon.  We took turns walking and riding.  We saw Indians.  They traded furs for blankets.  We also saw bison and prairie dogs.  We had to cross many rivers.  It was hard.  Luckily we made it to Oregon before the snow fell.  Oregon is beautiful. 

 

Pennsylvania had the nation's first library, hospital, art museum and fire department.  It is also the home of the Hershey factory and the Liberty Bell.  We ate Hersey kisses and then learned about the Liberty Bell and made our own version of the bell.
