First Snow Fall

The Museum
The museum was very interesting.There were so many things in the museum that I would need more time to really see everything.There were clothes from the past.
I don't know how people wore some of those things.They look like they would be uncomfortable.I like to wear my jeans.There were things from wars.
There were bullets, and cannons and even uniforms from the soldiers.
I don't think that war is a good thing, but it is good to remember the past and honour the
people who died for your country.There was an old fire truck at the museum.
This fire truck was pulled by a horse.There were some very old photographs of the firemen putting out fires.There were rooms in the museum that were set up like an old house.
There were antique irons and sewing machines.The women used to clean the clothes with a washboard.There were no modern appliances back then.I'm glad that we have electricity and modern appliances.The things that we have make life so much easier.There were mummies from Egypt at the museum.I was fascinated by those.
There were artifacts from the Indians.There were arrowheads and cradles that the babies slept in.I tried my best to see everything, but it was almost impossible.The museum is a good place to learn about your past.I tried to imagine my grandparents using some of the things that were on display at the museum.
The Police
My mother always told me that if I was lost I could go up to a policeman and that he
would help me to find my way home.I never did get lost, but I always remembered what my mother told me about the police.I think policemen look very nice in their uniforms.
I see police officers drive by in their police cars.In my town we even have police officers on bicycles.Policemen and policewomen have a job that can sometimes be dangerous.
They have to catch people who break the law.Sometimes, they have to chase people or try to calm people down.To be a police officer you need a lot of training.It is important to be able to deal with people effectively.A police officer came to our school.He had a police dog with him.The officer showed us how the dog could track down criminals.
The dog was very smart.He could even find things that were hidden.
Criminals sometimes hide things that they don't want the police to find.
The policeman told us that he and his dog were partners.His dog lives at his house with the policeman and his family.Sometimes I see police cars on the side of the road.The police stop people who are speeding or are not wearing their seatbelts.The police officers warn people or give out tickets.Sometimes they even have to arrest people.Police officers are just doing their job when they arrest people.Some people need to be arrested and put in jail to make it safer for the rest of us.
