Animal Cemetary

Hi, again.

Sorry about how long it has been since my last post.  I was busy.

Meanwhile, could you guess what this is:

It is a toad's grave.  My sister made it for a toad that was squashed by a car.

Do you see the top rock?  What is it shaped like?*

 

This is the name of the cemetery that we built for animals like the toad.

 This is the graveyard.  We made it with stones from the parking lot that the toad had been squashed in.

I had the idea to lay down palm branches and my friend is laying them down in the picture.  (They are not really palm branches.  They are ferns.)

We buried a few inchworms in the cemetery we made, too.

BYE!

*P.S.  Here's the answer about the stone on the grave.  It looks like a heart.

Have you ever made an animal graveyard?  Tell me what animals you buried in it, please.

Luke the Soldier

Now for a story...

Once upon a time, there was a soldier.  He was the general.  His name was Luke.

General Luke began a battle.

Boom! Bang!  Boom!  sounded the cannons.

Boom.  Boom.  Bang, went General Luke's gun.

Bam!  Boom!  Boom!  Bang!  Again, the cannons roared.

  General Luke's troops won the battle.

The next battle holds another story, but for now, Luke is strong.

The end.

The photos for this story were taken at The Old Colony Historical Society Museum. I was there for a scavenger hunt field trip.  We got there before a few other families, so we had some free time to look around and try on soldier's suits.

After the field trip, I put on the soldier suit again for more photos.

The museum had a few things upstairs to touch, too:  a canon and a school bell that I rang.  Putting on soldier suits, wearing a canteen and holding a gun is fun.  Pretending to fire the cannon was, too.

I like history.  Do you?
