Today we rode the trolly to Union Cemetery and saw talked about the people and their stories that are buried here. Ask me to tell you about AE Cross, John Ware, the RCMP section and other people we learned about. We also found that many children died of diseases that we no longer get.
We ate lunch in the remains of a building that was the first hospital in Calgary. There was a disagreement about whether it should be torn down or saved, and all that is left are pieces of it. Do you think we should save old buildings or tear them down and build new ones? We also visited the Catalogue House and a Heritage Tree that is over 100 years old. Who and what lives in that tree?
One more day...remember Friday is a long day and we will meet you at school at 2:45pm.
Love,
The Grade Twos
