My First Day of First Grade

Today was my first day of first grade. I had a great time because I have my best friend's mom and his godmother as teachers. They are really nice and they made my first day fun. I made a boomerang and a kangaroo with a joey in the pocket.
I went to an assembly. Bruce and his wife Tass bicycled around the world for 2 years and went to 22 countries! They traveled 14,000 miles on bicycles. I think their legs would be tired and their butts would be sore! They saw rhinos that hear very good and can smell very good, but they are almost blind. They tiptoed up close to get a good picture. Bruce and Tass also saw kangaroos. They camped by the kangaroos and one kangaroo even camped by them! They saw wild parrots and they also saw kookaburras. Kookaburras are a type of wild bird. Can you believe they even saw an albino peacock? They saw a penguin, too. They were about 30 inches tall. I can't believe that a wild monkey jumped on Tass' back to pick bugs out of her hair. Bruce took a picture. I would be super scared if a wild monkey jumped on my back.

Bruce and Tass saw many volcanoes. They hiked up the side of volcanoes. They even saw the biggest rock ever! They hiked in rainforests. In the rainforest there were pretty flowers and many animals.

This was the best day of any of my first days of school. I will have a great year!
