My Favorite Field TripBy: Dana Tam
My favorite field trip is the Exploratoium. I liked it because there's a lot of fun things like the game we played. You have to close your eyes and try to not let the ball go down. I also saw a sheep's brain and the bain looked really funny. It looked very wrinkly. We played with pink sand and we tried to make it wiggly. We wrote in our science journals. We saw the water turning like a tornado. The tornado turned small and big. I hope I go there again. We also played with bubbles. It was so nice and great in there. There were so many nice and fun things there and lots of things that we could touch.

What did you enjoy this year?
I enjoyed making bread becuause it's really hard to make it. I added water, flour, and sugar. I got flour on my forehead and in my hair. I need a lot of ingredients like sugar, yeast, 8 cups of flour, water, and a mixing bowl so you can mix it. We have to thump it ,dump it, dust it, knead it, squash it, and stretch it. Then we did it again and again until it was done. After the dough rose, we put it in the oven. We waited and then we took it out. Then we all ate it! It was so fun I wanted to do it again and again. One more thing, it feels squishy and I liked the raisin bread. We cleaned up our desks and that was the best thing that I liked.

What is your best memory of second grade?
I like to play outside because you can get fresh air. You can run and you can do P.E. I just like to play with balls. What I like to do is play tether ball! I like to play on the play structure. My friend plays with me. She pretended she was at Six Flages Marine World and we pretened to ride on rides. When you close your eyes, it's like you're really riding it! But I always get a little bit hurt. The longer recess is lunch. I like playing with other second graders.

What are you looking forward to?
This summer I'm waiting for my grandpa to come back from China because he bought me a watch and maybe a shirt too. He will come back during June. He bought my sister a phone and a watch like me. I'm going bowling at May 31 and maybe June too. I think I'll get 1 strike because I always get 1 strike. I don't no why. This summer, I will practice rolling balls so that I can get more strikes.
