September 9

It is our first day back to school.  A brand new crop of grade 5s.  This morning we had a scavenger hunt.  Pirate Pete had stolen our Pencils and erasers.  We had to figure out the clue to unlock the locks and open the box.  It was fun getting to know everybody.  While we solved our scavenger hunt we got to move around the room and learn where things were.  As a class we made a chart that shows our jobs and Miss Pattie's jobs.  This will remind us how to have a great year.  We took pictures hanging from the monkey bars - just as if we were hanging from a bunch of balloons and floating away.  We made pennants about us to hang in the classroom.
