how big is your shoebox?

This is our Pilgrim. On her way to board the Mayflower.

In order to better identify with the Pilgrims and the difficult choices they had to make, Mrs. B asked the kids to fill a shoebox with important things to take with them on a long journey to a far away place.

Ella's important things required a shoebox of Daddy's shoe size proportions.

Pictured: Bunny (he's been on many journeys, can't go on one without him), her cell phone (to keep in touch while on this long journey), her toothbrush (that's my girl!), band-aids (always ready for a crisis), money (Daddy's girl), and pen and paper (for all the lists she needs to make, or maybe she'll publish a book about her travels).

Ella's box was reportedly the second to largest box brought to class. Another classmate had a shoebox that was twice as wide! I need to have a chat with that classmate. Because if I were on a trip of Mayflower magnitude I would absolutely need satellite internet and my laptop. It just may fit in that box.
