The Bronx Zoo Trip
Order of Events in Stories
When I woke up the day of the trip, I was so excited! I knew the day was going to be excellent. "I can't wait to get to school," I thought. (That was the first and only time I was ever going to think or say that.) When the bell
rang to go to our first period class, I got so excited! My teacher talked to us about the trip and how we should act. Then we went downstairs to get on to the buses. Finally, we were on our way! It took awhile, but we finally
arrived. As I stepped off the bus, I almost froze! It was so cold. When Sarah, her dad, and I went to go looking at some animals, they weren't out because it was so cold. After it got a little warmer, we started to see some more
animals. (I never knew how big the Bronx Zoo was!)
We saw so many animals. My favorite animal was a certain kind of monkey called a pigmy marmoset. It was the smallest, most adorable, and precious thing ever. There was also a little mouse that had huge feet and hopped around like a kangaroo. I also saw Kodiak and polar bears. You could see the polar bears much better since they were closer to us. They were so gigantic. (I would hate to get into a fight with them!) After that, we saw two animals that are very rare. The first were the snow leopards, which were sleeping. The other was a red faced panda.
As we left the park, the joy that had once come to me in the beginning of the trip was starting to fade away. The ride home was not good because it was a really long way home and so boring. We were even late because we hit traffic. Finally, we were back at school. As I gathered all my things I thought about the great day that I had on my first 4th grade field trip. As I descended the steps of the bus, I was very depressed that the day was over. I hope to go back someday.
