Staten Island

   On Saturday May 15, Aham, Hunter, Malik, Hunters dad and Ms. Hibbert went on a trip to the Staten Island ferry. When we bordered the ferry we went to the deck of the ferry. We saw the Statue of Liberty and other ships. When we got off the ferry, we took a bus to a museum called Snug Harbor.

    At the museum we saw sculptures and pictures of Lincoln. As we went into a room there was a flag that had 13 colonies and 34 stars which are states. After that, we went to a ship exhibit and we saw different types of ships. Then we ate lunch and we went to a Chinese Garden and it had words in Chinese. Afterwards we went on the ferry back to Manhattan.

    We learned that Abraham Lincoln was born in the Illinois. He wrote the Emancipation Proclamation to abolish slavery. Abraham Lincoln was a two faced President because he went for both sides of the civil war. The trip was very fun.

This is the Verazzano Bridge. We saw the bridge while on the ferry. There was a lot of ships going under the bridge and to the other side. It was exciting.

This is a picture of Aham and Malik standing by the end of the ferry. You can't really see the faces because of the sunlight.

This is a tepee that is inside Snug Harbor. It was made out of paper and other artifacts. When you go inside there is a light and a lot of papers.  

This is a picture of different pieces of pictures put together to make a very beautiful picture of a girl.

This a picture of a pink statue made out of paint and foam (that is yellow, but it was painted). The picture looks a little wierd.

This is a picture of Malik, Aham and Hunter standing in front of a writing that is wrote in Japanese. It is written with green ink.

This is a tiny fruit called pomegrant. It is very sweet and sour fruit. This is part of Lincolns home in Snug  Harbor.
