3. A Poem About Chicago…. Chicago is the place to be, Many sites to see, Nicknamed the Windy City. Chicago… Home of the water tower, And the lovely beautiful flowers

4. Home to the famous downtown, Where you see no one with a frown. Home to Millennium Park, Where kids play, And fireworks spark. Home to numerous museums Where everyone is welcome, Where you see many Native American customs

5. In Brookfield zoo, Where people come to see, Dolphins and monkeys. Home to the Sox, Cubs, Bulls and Bears For what the fans of Chicago show a lot of care. And most of all, home to Budlong School, Where students find a learning tool.

6. Michigan Avenue Michigan Ave. is a cool place to go There’s a lot of things to see, And a lot of things to show. We shop at Macy’s And buy a dress, That’s really lacy. They design the windows in the Winter, Right next to where you enter.

7. I love to shop, At the Apple store, Where I’m never bored. The Apple Store sells a lot of items But you can’t bite ‘em! I know the place to go, Where the prices are low here at Michigan Ave.

8. Brookfield Zoo Brookfield zoo has lots of animals They have reptiles, monkeys and lots of mammals. There are birds that don’t have germs, But they do eat worms! They have a souvenir shop, Where people shop, Till’ they drop.

9. Now I must go, ‘Cause there’s a lot to see, And a lot to show here in Brookfield Zoo. ☻

10. In Chicago, you’ll want to eat our fast food, If you don’t then you won’t be in a good mood. Pizza, burgers or a hotdog- Yummy! This’ll feel SO good in your tummy.

11. Here we ♥ to eat because our Chicago style hotdogs just can't be beat. Here in Chi-TOWN!

12. Home of Millennium Park, Where kids play And fireworks spark

13. Millennium Park

14. Millennium Park is located in the heart of the marvelous downtown in Chicago. There are numerous attractions at Millennium Park for example the Cloud Gate, the waterfall and so much more!

15. The Cloud Gate The Cloud Gate is shaped like a bean and it consists of polished stainless steel plates. It reflects the famous downtown skyline. It curves in the middle which allows visitors to go under the Cloud Gate and see a reflection of themselves. It is amazing!!!

16. The Cloud Gate

17. BP Bridge Another attraction is the BP Bridge. This bridge is 925 feet long.

18. The Crown Fountain This attraction is splendid for kids! It is so much fun! It consists of two towers that pour out water every 8-10 minutes! If you are standing where it spits out water, you’re lucky!

20. Budlong School Budlong School is the place to go, We have libraries, gyms, and computer labs to show. If you want to play, There’s a playground for you to be. For older kids there’s a field, For you to see.

21. In our gym, we have a wall, Where kids climb up and then they fall. We have big classes, Where teachers lose their glasses. But it’s no big deal, Because we can keep it real, Here at Budlong School.

22. Pictures of Our School Our school is located on Chicago’s North side. A big hospital is our neighbor and a busy street is in front. We are on the same street as Northeastern Illinois University and North Park University.
