Field Trip

We were privileged to go to the state capital and visit the capitol building and the state history museum. It’s a great way to finish up our study of state history.

The students were VERY WELL BEHAVED, and that made this teacher’s heart happy. Because of another group cancelling their tour, we were able to have a guided tour this year, which is normally an impossibility for us. We learned lots of great new facts!

One thing that the students noticed and were impressed by was the number of references to God throughout the capitol. The ten commandments were a part of a painting series about law that was displayed in the State Supreme Court and there were other quotes that mentioned God throughout the building.

Some people may not realize that the PA capitol has two domes. One is the dome in the main rotunda that is covered with beautiful artwork and guilded trim. The other is this beautiful stained glass dome in the East part of the building.

The students were able to explore the welcome center in the capitol and experience electronic voting.

 

 

And as always, they had a fabulous time on the steps and the balcony. It was a great trip and fun was had by all!
