Our Trip to Prospect Park

by Kate and Cooper

In September 2013 Deborah and Jake’s fourth grade class took a field trip to Prospect Park in Brooklyn. They saw this bird  and then had lunch. After lunch they all went under a big weeping willow and the weeping willow’s

branches were down to the ground. When Deborah’s class was leaving they stood next to a tree and took a photo of themselves.

Alot of kids were more familiar with Central Park because they live near there so it was nice to learn about Prospect Park and to just get out and see nature and get out and play. At the end there was extra time to go to the playground and have some run around time to get the silliness out of our bodies.

Over all most of the class liked the field trip! Some people in the class who hated bugs and nature but loved video games ended up enjoying themselves and wanting more field trips like that one!

  1. You did a great job! I have a few corrections though… There were a bunch of typos like you didn’t capitalize some letters… Also you could’ve added more details… Good job though!
