Chattanooga Field Trip

   Last Friday, our ELL classes had a field trip to Chattanooga. We left school at about seven o’clock to begin our wonderful and long journey. Besides going to this awesome trip, we also got to skip school on Friday. I was really happy about it since my school week was already over on Thursday.

   Our adventure started with the grand aquarium of Chattanooga. We spend about two hours looking at different kinds of water denizens. This aquarium had many interesting sections that featured not only fish, but also reptiles, birds, and insects. The first animals that we got to see were penguins. We were really excited about them. They were also really cute. On the top floor of the aquarium, there was a place called “Butterfly garden.” As soon as I walked in there, I could already see dozens of butterflies of different shape and color. After we were done with the aquarium, we went out to eat lunch. Our group went to the place called Genghis Grill. The food was really tasty, and I enjoyed eating it because I was really hungry.

   After filling our stomachs, we got to one of the most interesting parts of our trip. We went on a river voyage. Our captain was really funny and knew a lot of history about Chattanooga. He also let us ride his boat while he was telling us the story of Chattanooga. Our small “river trip” was over in about an hour. Lastly, we went to the ice cream shop where I bought a giant cone with three enormous scoops of ice cream.

  I was really sad about returning back to school, and I wish our trip could be a little longer, but everything has to have an end. There is always time for fun, and there is always time for working and studying. I really enjoyed our ELL trip, and I wish we could do that again.
