5TH GRADE: THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL!!! BY IZZY
9-4-17
This past week was our first week of school! I started fifth grade and Ethan started third. I have Mr. G and Ethan has Ms. Chavira. I had Mr. G for first grade and he was really awesome. Our classrooms are right next to each other too. My friends Marissa and Aldo are in my class and they like cats like I do. We have started getting into the way the class works and the schedule. Mr. G always provides a little bit of free time at the end of the day but we can always lose it if we don't clean up and get our things out quickly. I am in a combo class of 4th and 5th graders but we only have 7 fourth graders in our class and they are all boys. In total, my class has 24 boys and 10 girls!!!😕 I have loved school so far!!!
My New Randoseru (Ransel)!!!!!
Randoseru is a Japanese word for backpack that actually comes from the Dutch word for backpack, ransel. The backpack is made of leather and mine is blue. It has a latch on the bottom that you use to open it. It is hard and makes sure that your stuff doesn't get squashed! The Ikedas found one for me since I told my mom that I really wanted one. It was actually a surprise for me and I am so excited to use it!! Thank you sooooooo much Satoru-san and Akiko-san!!!💜💛💚💙
Here's a tour of my randoseru!
You look great with that Randoseru! It brought back memories for JiJi.
ReplyDeleteHe said that Obaachan bought your Mom and Seiko each one which they used at St. Nick's. He said that they became popular about 50 years ago. Hope your 5th grade experience is terrific! Me. G is lucky to have you! MoMo
Ethan,
ReplyDeleteWe loved your post about the water park! The video was especially cool -- in more ways than one! Hope your third grade class is fun and that you'll keep on reading and writing and also learning Japanese too if your Mom can find a tutor. Miss you guys! MoMo
