Along our journey, we stopped in a small town of only 5,000 people
called Kenton, Ohio. We pulled up to the home of the Wildcats, Hardin
Central Elementary. The fifth grade language arts classroom had clocks
for the different United States time zones. How helpful for us!
Hardin Central Elementary
is not just a cool school, but its home is in a cool state! First of
all, eight presidents call Ohio their home. Speaking of famous people,
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, and the Wright
Brothers, the inventors of the first airplane, also come from Ohio. The
capital, Columbus, originated from Christopher Columbus, the legendary
explorer from Italy. Finally, we learned that the Ohio was very
important to the historic Underground Railroad. Ohio seems to be a very
historical state!
Ohio isn’t just known for
its history. It also has some charming scenery, like Lake Erie and the
Ohio River. You can visit these places at many times of the year. The
warm summers, where temperatures reach an average of eighty degrees, or
the snowy winters (These kids have already had seven snow days!) make
Ohio a temperate place to visit!
In conclusion, we wrapped up with some fun things to do in their
state. Ohio is known for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland
and many amusement parks, such as Cedar Point, King’s Island, Mad River
Mountain, and the Kalahari Water Park. Awesome! They also like to play
kickball, basketball, football, tag and walk ‘n talk with friends (a
wonderful “game” that you can’t do in class). That was our wonderful
trip Kenton, Ohio!
