Yesterday was an awesome day.   We had a great field trip to Jefferson City.  We toured the Supreme Court, Highway Patrol Safety Museum, Governor’s Mansion, and Capitol.  What was your favorite part of the day?  What was something that you learned?  Would you like to go back?  What would you like to learn more about?

    I really liked the govener’s mansion. I thought that it was really beautiful. I learned that the state capitol is in the top ten most beautiful capitols in the U.S. I thought that was really cool! I would like to go back and attend another tour in the State Capitol because it was really loud and I did not hear everything that our tour guide told us. I would like to learn more about the State Capitol. All together that was the best field trip I have ever been on.

    My favorite thing was going to the highway patrol!!! I liked seeing all the police cars. I never knew the first police car had a face on the very front of the car!! I also liked all the paintings in the capital. I liked the one that when you moved it looked like the whole pictue started to like change direction!!!! I would love to go back to the highway patrol and show my little brother the car with the face on the patrol car!!!! I also would like to go look at the capitol with my whole family and show them all the cool paintings and all the stair cases. I would also love to back to the supreme court and look at all the cool books and go see the five,million picture!! That was a cool picture!

    My favorite part of the day was the Capital and I liked having a picnic in the yard of the Governor’s Mansion, I liked watching them descuse stuff and getting a tour of the building too, I also liked sitting and eating with my mom and playing with all of my friends. I wish I could skip 5th grade for next year and come back to 4th grade and take that 4th grade trip to Jefferson City again next year. I would like to learn more about what they talk about in the Capital Building too. I also got a picture with Shane Schoeller the Representative I thought that was pretty cool.

    This is a great family trip.

  30. mhayter Says:

    You probably learn different things with dfferent tour guides. Isn’t it great you can revisit a place and still learn something new?

  31. mhayter Says:

    Maybe you could become a highway patrol person when you grow up!

  32. mhayter Says:

    I am glad that you enjoyed the trip!

  33. mhayter Says:

    Remember that judges and the courts interpret the laws, they don’t make them. Only legislators can pass laws.

  34. mhayter Says:

    I think it is great that our state capitol is made from Missouri’s own natural resources. I always felt so proud that Carthage marble was used to build the capitol since I am from Carthage.

  35. mhayter Says:

    I am so glad that you enjoyed the day. Did you know that in 8th grade you have the opportunity to visit our nation’s capitol…Washington, D.C.?

  36. Serena's Mom, Jennifer Peterson Says:

    Thank you for including parents on the field trip. It was a lot of fun and very interesting. I enjoyed spending the day with everyone and getting to know some of the parents a little better. I was very tired at the end of the day and the next day after the trip.

  37. mhayter Says:

    Thank you so much for joining us. The trip to Jefferson City would not be possible without volunteers to help chaperone. Have a restful summer.
