It was Wednesday morning and I was ready for my mom to drop me to school.  

Ms. Smith was waiting for everyone to arrive at school so that she can take attendance before heading to our field trip to the zoo.

Shortly after Ms. Smith took attendance, our school bus arrived to take us to the zoo. We were all excited. 

When we got to the zoo, it was filled with shady trees and beautiful flowers. 

The parrot's colors were bright and beautiful. The parrots were up high in the trees. Did you know that parrots eat nuts, flowers, fruit, seeds, and insects?

Zebras enjoy being in the open field where they can roam. They have black and white stripes. Did you know that zebras eat hay and alfalfa? 

Elephants love to play in the water. They are the world's largest land animals. Elephants use their trunks as their hands. Did you know that elephants eat plants? 

Monkeys love to climb trees. A fun fact about monkeys is that they sleep while sitting in trees. Did you know monkeys like to eat bananas?
