Fifth Graders Aboard the S.S. Badger

Last week our class went on a field trip on the S.S Badger. On the Badger I did lots of things, but my favorite activity of all was badger bingo. The third time I played it I won a piece of coal. Then on the way back when we were doing a word search I won that to so I got two pieces of coal and sold them for two dollars each. ..Jonathan

Yesterday we went on the S.S. Badger. There was a lot of stuff to do. Here are some of the things I did. A lot of the food on the boat was expensive so I didn’t buy much food. Most of the kids played in the arcade but I went and hung out with Danny and Steve. Steven bought a trick camera and we went around and squirted people. Danny and I played with the monkeys we bought. …Joe F.

Yesterday our class went on the Badger. We had a lot of fun there. We watched little bits and pieces of movies and we also walked a round the deck. Plus we spent a lot of time in the arcade. We played racecar games and we bought bounce balls. The bounce balls that I bought were for my dad and me to play with. I also bought a pressed penny for my mom. In the store I bought gummy worms while other people bought the stuffed monkeys. I wanted a little frog that when you squeezed him he would make a frog sound. We also played Badger bingo and I didn't win anything. That's what I did on the Badger. …Katie

Yesterday my class went on the S.S. Badger. I watched the boat take off from the front desk. At first I spent most of my time outside. Then it got cold and I went in to the gift shop. My Dad went with me on the Badger. The Badger also has an arcade, a movie theatre, and Bingo. After I went in I played Bingo a lot with Haley. I never won a prize though. But I got two pencils from answering Trivia Questions….Kailani

The badger was tons of fun and so was the museum. I really really liked the Badger. At first I thought I was going to be seasick but in the end I felt al right and I had tons of fun. …Katherine

Yesterday we went on the S.S. Badger. The Badger is the second big boat I’ve been on. The boat is huge in real life and it can carry a lot of cars and passengers. The S.S. Badger goes 15 knots, which is about 20 mph. The boat is bigger inside then it looks outside. The food was really good on the S.S. Badger. A really fun part of the Badger was bingo because it was free, but I never won. …Cody
