Last week I was a chaperone for Noah’s class trip to the Prospect Park Zoo. Before we left, Ms. Yelena briefed the kids on how they should act.

A surfeit of kids making faces into my phone.


A muster of kids on the bus.


A rafter of kids looking at something, I don’t remember.

A cartload of kids look at a congress of Hamadryas Baboons.



A romp of kids try to destroying bird eggs.

AÂ rookery of kids drawing.



Bat anatomy (a group of bats is called a colony, boring).


A shoal of fish getting harassed by a skulk of kids.

Sea lion feeding.

Tseday’s sister. I don’t need a reason.

Then the rain started.




A cackle of kids eating lunch a shrewdness of adults hoped the rain would let up.

Noah C.

The rain didn’t let up. Downpour.

It was a fun/wet bus ride back to school.
