Here is an introduction of what we will be teaching through the 40 weeks of school. (new chapter will be reviled every week!)

This is Zak’s Story on his adventures, discovering his personal treasure, based on his Captain’s Log he named “ Forty Weeks at Sea”

Preface

I dream a treasure and a map

To sail to far lands harbors

Through deep blue waters, our boat is fast…

My Captain’s cap and boots to last

Dark Nights

High Winds

and Burning Sun

My mind stays strong on target!

***
They’re no Pirates, but a Team
A Group of Lovely People
Here To Help Me With My Dream
To Light My Path A Little

***

Far from home

Through stormy nights

We reach a friendly harbor

The smell of food

And sweet delights

I wish I had a shower

***
They’re no Pirates, but a Team
A Group of Lovely People
Here To Help Me With My Dream
To Light My Path A Little

***
It must be here

The map is right!

Bring your shovels

Bring your might!

We’ll have our treasure, by tonight!

***
They’re no Pirates, but a Team
A Group of Lovely People
Here To Help Me With My Dream
To Light My Path A Little

***

An Ancient scroll?

Another Map?!

Help!! Bring the candles!

This may be it…

My treasure after all!!

But wait, it can not be

By following this map

It leads me home!!

***
They’re no Pirates, but a Team
A Group of Lovely People
Here To Help Me With My Dream
To Light My Path A Little

***
Dark Nights

High Winds

and Burning Sun

My heart beats fast

We’re home at last!

They’re no Pirates, but a Team
A Group of Lovely People
Here To Help Me With My Dream
To Light My Path A Little

Captain’s log…

I still can’t believe I am the captain of this ship?

But all evident shows it is true,
I woke up this morning and a Captains Cap lying right next to me,
on the side table on my left

I quickly found the bathroom mirror,
It was me alright, me and my usually uncombed hair staring right back at me,
truthfully, I am looking a bit older than I remember myself to be,
but I think I even like it that way

As I stepped out of my cabin, everyone referred to me as Captain Zak
(Captain Zak Sir :))

Well, here we are…

I do not know were to begin…and I’m not used to keeping a log on my life
This just somehow feels right…

and before I knew it there was this big book in front of me…
with big letters: Captain’s Log on the cover…

This is a heavy book indeed,
As I opened it up, expecting to read The The Captain’s Log – the book was EMPTY!

A book of this size, Brown leather cover, the yellow pages..looking almost antique…
and what do you know, an ink pen right next to it…How would you feel?

I was not given much choice…

If the man is right…

Anyway, here we are my first log

Captain Zak’s log Day One

I feel as if I have been on this ship forever…

There are some things which we acquire on our journey,
these things take “Time”, through hard work and effort.

But others, you just discover “Suddenly” in an instance…I will try to write more about that later!

Each Day that passes is teaching us something,
and than the next day and the next…once the day is over
we seem to have Gained some new “intelligence”,
I thing they still call it “lessons”…

You can get these lessons in school or as “life lessons”.
(hopefully both, I am so happy I was not thrown in to
this journey without proper schooling)

As the man wrote: “If Days Could Speak”…

and sometimes I think they do…
