Transportation
Evan—Age 8

Times have changed in these two photos. We don't use trolleys now. Instead we use cars, vans, SUVs and etc... We are able to get to where we are going quicker than with trolleys. We are lucky to have so much technology.

My Family
Nivethitha—Age 8

I chose the pictures of my family because they were the best pictures of my family. My family is very close. We are moving soon and being close is important.

Tractors
Gilson—Age 8

I chose these pictures because I live on a ranch and I thought that a tractor would be good. The old tractors didn't have a roof and would be hard for the farmers because of the heat with no shade. I like to ride on tractors.

Lawnmowers
Elliot—Age 8

I chose these pictures because I thought it would be funny to see the differences in the lawnmowers. The new one is now electric and the other one you have to push to get power. This chimp would even get tired, especially mowing the White House's lawn.

My Mom
Lexi—Age 9

I love my mom. She has changed because she now has glasses and shorter hair than she used to. I think that my mom is very pretty.

The Racecars
Lezlie—Age 9

I chose these pictures because I like to watch racing. I think that racing is more popular than it used to be. I like to go every Saturday night and watch races.

Marion Hotel
Brandon—Age 9

I chose these pictures because I pass by this hotel all of the time. It has changed a lot. The cars are newer. This building used to not have a hotel in it.

My Sister
Katie—Age 8

My older sister used to not fight as much as we do now. I used to be as tall as her, but now she has gotten taller than me.
