              Hi, my name is Sophie Cheng. I live in Lansdale, PA. Today I'm going to tell you about a field trip that my class took. We went from my school, Knapp Elementry, to the Adventure Aquarium in NJ. Anyway, here's how the whole thing got started. On the day before the field trip, Mrs.Middlekauff (my teacher)anounced the groups. I got in the, litterly, BEST GROUP EVER ! I had a group with my two best friends that are on my class (my very best friend, unfortunatly, wasn't in my class when we started third grade)! The only bad  part about it was that there were two autistic students. I mean, I don't exactly don't like them, it's just that. . . they make noises that are a little weird . . . and they sometimes turn off the lights in our classroom . . . and they talk a little weird too! When I got to school the second day, it was kaotic! The grown-ups were puting wrist bands onto our hands, they're were parents hanging around everywhere, and everyone was hanging around talking to each other! Announcements were not long-gone when we were out the door and ready to roll! On the bus, I talked with my friends. The autistic kids were on the other bus that carried Mrs.Berlanda's class, so we didn't have to worry about them. On the bus, I talked with my friends. We talked about our languages, our fears, ect. We even talked about creepy, creepy, creepy bugs and spiders ! When we got to Phelidelphia, the teachers told us. I saw my dad's work office in the distance, if, when we were driving back from a trip, I had saw the right building that my dad tried to point out to me. They also told us when we got to the deleware bridge,but Nadia noticed it before the teachers told us(and I was the one next to the window)! Then the teachers said that we could see the Adventure Aquarium from here, and Nadia and Foazia spotted it since they're closer to the other side, but I only thought I saw it at the last moment. When we got to the aquarium, we walked down the school bus. It was CHILLY! Then, we gathered together to take a class photo (Mrs. Middlekauff LOVES  taking photos) even Kenji and Rafe (the that   people) had to come to. Then we had to get in line to get into the aquarium. Then we were finnaly able to get into the aquarium. First, Nadia's mom (our chaperone) asked us about going to see the penguins. I went crazy but the others just said "Sure!" and we went. When we got to see the penguins, me and Foazia went crazy, Nadia just looked, and Mrs. Popek just waited for us to look enough. Foazia stopped going crazy when we went back in to see some other animals, but I still was. When we got back inside, I stopped going crazy because now that excitment was going with all of us to see the hippos. The hippos were GIGANTIC. and we could see them even from a downward window. I even thought that we saw that kind of little fish cleaning the hippo's backs! Then, me and Nadia wanted to go to the shark bridge, so we went down. On the way, we saw lots of kinds of jellyfish. We also saw some urchin exhibits, and there was this octupus, but we couldn;t find it because it was hiding so well. Finnaly we got to the shark bridge, but there was a problem for me and Nadia. Foazia was too scared  because she was such a scaredy cat, and Rafe had to go to the toilot  so me and Nadia couldn't do the shark bridge  . I could feel my whole face turning red with dissapointment as we (well, I mean me and Nadia) walked back down the hallway. I had been so excited, and Nadia had too. We were talking about it on the bus, we heard that it was really fun from another group in our class that went on it. Just SO dissapointed . Once we found the bathroom, Rafe and someone else in our group (I forgot who it is) went in. Me and everyone else that were waiting took a sip of water. Then, I started playing chopsticks with Foazia. When we were all done with the bathroom and the water drinks, everyone agreed that it was probably time for the snack  Mrs. Middlekauff had told us we could have. We had all brought our own money, but Mrs. Popek decided that she would buy popcorn and we wouldn't have to spend money. I was a little dissapointed that I couldn't get what I wanted, but I was happy that I didn't have to spend my money. Mrs. Popek even asked us if we wanted juice, but me and Foazia said no. I said no because 1.I didn't like juice. 2. It would be embarrasing to have someone that I'm not very fammiliar with buy everything I want.  So we buyed popcorn and ate it. While we were sitting and eating, I heard Mrs. Popek talking about how many injuries Nadia has had ( Nadia had fractured her leg near that time, so I guess that was why Mrs. Popek took up this to talk about). Then, we decided that sitting here to eat was too slow, so since Nadia had finished her juice, we decided that we would eat the popcorn while we walked and saw all the fish. So we kept on walking. Even though this was an aquarium, but guess what we saw! A cookobara (sorry, I'm not very good at spelling the name because I never saw its name, and if you don't know what I'm talking about, just see what word the arrow points to and it will give you the answer)! It is a bird that lives in Australia, I think, because when we heard about it in a CD, we were hearing the Australia song when it got pushed into the lyrics. Then, it was about time for third grade to meet up, so we went to the bathroom. This time, EVERYBODY had to try to go because we were going to ride on the bus without any stops until we got to the school, so the people that didn't need to go had to go to for an "in case". When everyone was done with drinks and toilots for round 2, we met up in the spot that our class was going to meet up in. I saw a penny smasher and one of those places where you can get photos. We got so bored while waiting that someone even suggested making a penny. But we all knew what Mrs. Middlekauff had said no souvineers, so we just stood there. Finnaly, our class came down the escalator. Then we went out to wait for our buses to come and pick us up. This time, it was taking so long to get on the buses. Finnaly someone spotted our buses, and we walked over. Once we got on the bus and it started to drive, things were really different from what had happened on the first bus ride. First, we just tiredly sang songs that are going to be in our spring concert. Then, I tried to take a little nap from how tired I was, but I couldn't because that was when bad part struck-Nadia tickled me everywhere and I had to control my screams and I also had to try to get my screams to reach the ears of the teachers. She even pulled on my hair. Thank god that Mrs. Popek had heard us and ordered her to stop. Then we tried a game that was about trying not to laugh or smile, but I was ALWAYS the first one out. Then mostly I did nothing but sit there and start to feel dizzy . Finnaly, we arrived back at school. My head was pounding by then, and my stomach was tumbling around, but since we were not on the bus anymore, I started to feel better, little by little. When we got to the classroom, EVERYONE got their lunch right away and began to eat (we were not eating lunch at the aquarium, so we had to wait until 2:00 to get back to school and eat). Also, even though this wasn't a suprise to us because she had told us she would do this yesterday, Mrs. Middlekauff put on a magic school bus videp for us to watch while we were eating lunch. After the video ended, Mrs. Middlekauff let us finish up our lunch, trash it, and then have a mini talk time. Everyone was talking about the shark bridge, which made me feel more embarassed . But things always get KAOTIC if Mrs. Middlekauff says we can have talk time, and this time, it got kaotic meaning KAOTIC. Someone tried to lead the whole class to do wierd poses that I couldn't keep up with if I had tried to join in anyway:warning number 1. Someone sneakyly gets out a cromebook:warning number 2. Someone keeps on making the class do wierd poses that I coudn't keep up with if I had tried to join in anyway plus that someone who got a cromebook searching up you tube:cromebook away, whole class sit down, whole class get scolded from teacher. Then, Mrs. Middlekauff said that we would work on fun sheets, but first we had to finish something, drawing our own aquarium! Then, we went out for recess, as normal. After recess, we kept on working on the fun sheets. Then I almost finished a word search, but we had to pack up and get ready for dismissal (at home I finished it, by the way). As I climbed onto my mom's car, I knew that this would be a day that I wouldn't forget soon.
