e t t e z a G t o l Gate Fall 2014 Dear Gatelot Families, Welcome to another fabulous year at Gatelot Avenue Elementary School! We have certainly hit the ground running and the staff and students have nestled into the new school year quite nicely. I am excited that the Sachem School District has adopted the Schoolwide reading program to help our students successfully meet the standards set forth by the state. The teachers are excited by the adoption of this program as they feel it is much more user friendly and developmentally more appropriate then the modules we implemented last year. The students are enjoying the literature that accompanies this series as they work hard to meet and excel with the standards. The district has also gone full force with the 7 Habits this year so you can look forward to seeing the language of the habits embodied in lessons and homework. As a reminder, Gatelot (and the entire district) has done green. Please be sure you go on to the website to register to receive email via eG@telot. Please be sure to check the website, daily, for updates and information. We are aware of the “growing pains” of going green and are trying to make it as painless as possible by also utilizing the School Messenger automated calls, the Sachem Friends Website, and the Gatelot PTA Facebook page (thank you Mrs. O’Rourke!) as other avenues of getting information out. I continue to be amazed by our hard working PTA. If you have not yet done so, please be sure to join the PTA and consider volunteering to help with even one event. The fall fundraiser was a HUGE success! The money raised by this fundraiser will allow the PTA to continue to pay for the entrance into the many wonderful places they arrange for our students to visit. Please be aware that the PTA cannot pay the cost of transportation. Please be mindful that the drop in enrollment, coupled with the rising cost of booking the busses, has caused the price of the transportation to rise. Unfortunately this is out of our control; however, the teachers and PTA consistently look for ways to make this cost as painless as possible, while still giving our students some very exciting experiences! Thank you to Mrs. Rosenberg for agreeing to put the Gatelot Gazette together once again. This is quite a task and she makes it look seamless! I look forward to working with the students, staff and parents this year to help the students “Care to Achieve…………Dare to Excel”. Proud Principal, Denise Kleinman Page 2 Gatelot Gazette Kindergarten Happenings We can’t believe two months have already gone by! The kindergarten children have worked very hard on learning the routines and rules of school. They are currently learning all lowercase letters and sounds. We started a new program this year that teaches your child how to be a reader and writer. Currently, your children are able to tell a story by using illustrations and are beginning to have conversations about the text. They are using words like “I noticed…, I agree…, I disagree…” to help them become thoughtful and proficient speakers. In writing, your children are learning how to illustrate a story over several pages and they are learning the importance of adding details to help the reader understand their message. In math, students are learning how to count and write numbers 0-10 and are learning how to determine between more than and fewer than. During science, we are learning about weather and seasons. We are also trying to become responsible for our own actions by being proactive. The first two months have been great! Can’t wait to see how much they grow! First Grade News We can’t believe it’s already November! We have been super busy in first grade. The first grade teachers are excited to be starting our new ELA program. The first graders are learning to become independent readers and writers. In math we have been working on addition and subtraction topics. Please continue to drill addition and subtraction facts at home. Flashcards are a great tool to use at home with your child to help build up their fluency in this area. In social studies we learned about what it means to be a good citizen in our school and our community. We learned about Christopher Columbus and in the upcoming weeks we will be learning about Election Day, Veteran’s Day and the First Thanksgiving. In science we are learning about matter (solids, liquids and gases), their properties and changes in matter. We are looking forward to our first field trip of the school year to Benner’s Farm. Special thanks to the PTA for the Gatelot Pumpkin Patch. Each child from kindergarten to fifth grade was able to choose a pumpkin to take home. The first graders were so excited! Second Grade Activities The Second Grade has been off to a busy start this school year! In Science, students blasted off the year learning about the Solar System. They learned much about the phases of the moon, Earth’s rotation and orbit of the sun. Students enjoyed a trip to the galaxy during our in-house field trip to “Skylab”. Thank you to the Cultural Arts Committee for coordinating the event. In Math, students have enjoyed the challenges of addition and subtraction. They have pushed themselves to improve their fluency and better understand many strategies necessary to add and subtract. Students have been engaged in the launch of our reading and writing programs. Through writer’s workshop students are acquiring the necessary skills to gain independence. The students are enjoying writing and sharing their personal experiences. In reading, students are learning the fundamentals through a balanced literacy framework. They are reading and reviewing various texts to enhance their understanding of the reading process. In Social Studies, students have begun their journey into the life of the Native Americans. They are learning about how Native Americans relied on the Earth to survive and how they became North America’s first farmers, builders, artists, healers, and astronomers. They are excited about the upcoming trip to Caleb Smith State Park Preserve where they will learn hands-on how the Native Americans lived. Fall 2014 Page 3 Third Grade Goings-on The third graders are “falling” in love with our Reading and Writing Workshop. In our Reading Workshop, we are finishing up our Launch Unit where the students learned strategies such as Visualizing and Making Connections in order to become strong readers. This year we are focusing on moving from “word readers” to “close readers” who read for meaning. During Writing Workshop, the children are immersed in mentor texts to learn how writers develop meaningful pieces. We also enjoyed listening to everyone’s fictional suspense stories titled, In the Old Abandoned House, where the students used a writing strategy called “The Magic of Three.” We are looking forward to our first field trip to Safety Town where students will learn pedestrian and bicycle safety. It’s been a great start to our third grade year! Check out our writing on pages 10-12!! Fourth Grade Events Welcome back! The Fourth Grade students are off to an exciting start. We visited Brookhaven National Laboratory where we had the opportunity to experience hands-on activities in Spectroscopy, Electricity and MagLev. We also went to the Long Island Fair at Old Bethpage Village. There we learned what life was like on Long Island in the 1800’s. We visited a General Store, an Inn & Saloon, the blacksmith, a one room school house, a working farm with the largest pigs we’ve ever seen and so much more! In the classroom, the students have been working diligently on growing as readers and writers. Learning a variety of strategies and examining many wonderful mentor texts. Check out some of our favorites at the library, such as Albert by Donna Jo Napoli or Tomas and the Library Lady by Pat Mora. We’re excited to find out what we’re reading next and the new experiences in store for us this year! ~The Fourth Grade Check out our writing on pages 13-16!! Page 4 Gatelot Gazette Fifth Grade Endeavors Fifth grade students have already had a busy and exciting few weeks this year. First they rode a ferry from Sayville to Sailor’s Haven on Fire Island. While there, parents and students walked through the Sunken Forest (one of only 2 in our country), finally meeting at the beach for lunch, digging and shell collecting. After enjoying the beautiful weather and views at the beach, everyone hiked back to the ferry for a pleasant ride home. A couple of weeks later, students practiced working cooperatively as they navigated Adventures in Peacemaking challenges at Sachem North. The Mohawk Trail, Whale Watch, Buddy Walkers and Nitro Crossing proved to be challenging, fun and exhilarating. Students and teachers are all enjoying the new Schoolwide Reading and Writing program. Everyone is looking forward to reading published pieces about a special memory or experience. All of 5 th grade has already written informative, persuasive and narrative pieces about the Sunken Forest. When the Schoolwide Launch unit is completed at the end of October, we will begin a nonfiction unit with a focus on biographies. Whenever you visit Gatelot, you might see bright orange t-shirts or hear students doing morning announcements. That’s the fifth graders proudly wearing their unique class shirts and showing off their leadership skills. This will prove to be a busy year as we plan more trips, read and write various genres, mentor the younger students and prepare for middle school. The students will surely have a memorable last year at Gatelot! Art News Fall has arrived in the art room. The kindergarteners are Silly Spiders. The first graders are creating a Johnny Appleseed tree. They will use crumpled tissue paper to create the leaves. They will add crumpled tissue paper apples as their finishing touch. The second graders created sponge painted Fall Trees. The third graders are creating an Abandoned House which will be an illustration to go with the writing they are creating in their classrooms. The fourth graders are creating Monsters in My Closet illustrations. These closets are inspired by the book There is a Nightmare in My Closet by Mercer Mayer. The fifth graders are creating Fall Perspective Drawings colored with colored pencils and watercolor paint. They will create a landscape with three-dimensional items. They will also add fall items such as pumpkins, a barrel of apples, and or a scarecrow, etc. I am looking forward to decorating the halls with our fall artwork. Gatelot Gazette Page 5 Band The Gatelot Band is off to a great start this year. 4th and 5th Grade Band students and parents are encouraged to visit the Band website accessible at http://gatelotband.weebly.com or by navigating through the Gatelot school homepage for practice tips, lesson schedules, documents, and other important information. 5th Grade Band rehearsals are Monday and Thursday mornings at 8:15. The 5 th Grade Band students are working hard to prepare for the Gatelot Winter Concert, which we encourage the community and school to attend on Monday, December 15, 2014 at 7 p.m. in the Samoset Middle School Auditorium. We hope to see you there! Chorus The fourth and Music Mrs. Lehmann is very pleased with how much the students learned in music class this last month. Kindergarten students practiced using their voices in different ways and continued to work on keeping a steady beat. First graders worked on counting rhythms. Second graders began learning to name notes and rests. Third graders also worked on notes and rests as well as naming the lines and spaces. They are preparing to learn the recorder which is coming up next in music class! The fourth and fifth graders learned how to follow a piece of chorus music. They now can label the soprano line, the alto line and the piano part. The third, fourth and fifth grade classes have all been studying composers, as well. Each month throughout the year they will be learn about a different composer. The students also will be comparing and contrasting these talented individuals in history. The fifth graders even created a composer folder. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was the composer of the month for October. November's composer is George Frederic Handel. Keep up the good work in music, Gatelot! fifth grade chorus has been working diligently toward their performance in December. The music is really beginning to come together. The piece entitled "Hanukkah Shalom" is sounding beautiful. Mrs. Lehmann is so proud of the students for being able to acquire the skills necessary to sing the song "Fa La La" correctly. It is an upbeat, song filled with staccato (detached) notes that the group sings almost professionally. We all are looking forward to the concert in December. Keep up the great work Gatelot Chorus! Gatelot Gazette Page 6 PLAYBILL - GATELOT ORCHESTRA The Gatelot Orchestra is making a joyful noise in lessons and rehearsals! Be prepared to be 'wowed' by our 5th grade Band and Orchestra and our 4th and 5th grade Chorus at our Holiday Concert on December 15th! Our beginners are learning all different playing techniques and beginning to make some music! It is especially at these times that these new techniques can become frustrating to any beginner musician, but guess what: IT’S OKAY Beginner students are learning how to play an entirely new instrument and will not become professionals overnight. With parental support and 20 minutes of practice every day for homework, that frustration will turn into fun and success! Here is the practice tip of the month: Practice the solution ... not the problem! Do not make the mistake of repeating passages over and over, continuing to make the same mistakes. You're only furthering the problem by practicing the mistake! · Slow it down ... · Think about it ... · Think about why it's difficult for you ... · Figure out what you need to do differently to solve the problem. · Then, practice the solution! Gatelot Gazette Library News Page 7 Fall 2014 Welcome back to school and the library! I missed Gatelot very much and it is wonderful to be part of this amazing family once again : ) Over the next few months, we will be very busy. Kindergarten will be learning about fiction and non-fiction and how the library is organized. First grade is learning about the parts of a story and studying an amazing author: Kate DiCamillo. Second grade is learning how to choose “just right” books and how to find books independently in the library. Third grade is concentrating on the Dewey Decimal System and the OPAC and fourth grade is busy skimming and scanning and evaluating websites. Fifth grade is just finishing up a unit on primary and secondary sources and soon we will be focusing on wikis and plagiarism. I have an exciting year planned filled with lots of fun interactive projects. Stay tuned for the next newsletter! ESL The Gatelot English as a Second Language Program has gotten off to a wonderful start this year. We welcomed new students and enjoyed reuniting with old friends. Our beginner students have been busy learning English for daily use and basic vocabulary. Our intermediate and advanced students have been improving their English language skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing to give them the tools to be successful in content-areas. We are truly fortunate to have the cultural diversity that our students and their families bring to the Gatelot school community! BLT ReesSpecht Life In keeping with our building’s theme this year, “Gatelot Cultivates Kindness”, the BLT put on an assembly for all grades on October 10th. At this assembly, Mrs. Kleinman read, “A Little Rees Specht Cultivates Kindness” by Richard Specht. This book illustrates how important it is to help one another, be kind to others, and to “pay it forward”. At the end of the assembly every student was given a “ReesSpecht” card and an assignment. The students were asked to help spread the seeds of kindness. We discussed different ways how we can be nice to one another, help one another and “pay it forward”. Students are asked to pass their “ReesSpecht” card to someone else after they have been kind and have “paid it forward”. It is essential to remind students that it’s important to be kind and “pay it forward” whether you have a card to pass along or not. We know our students will help spread the seed of kindness and help carry out the ReesSpecht message. Gatelot Gazette PE Activites Page 8 Welcome back to our students! We were happy to be back in our gym after the summer vacation, but unfortunately we are out of our gym again due to repairs. However, our gym is going to look better than ever. A new floor and new paint awaits us! Thank you to everyone who came out to support our Breast Cancer walk-a-thon. We raised over $500 dollars. We loved seeing students and parents wearing pink, singing to the music and walking our hallways. It’s always a great event that gets everyone moving and helps raise awareness. Way to go Gatelot! We are looking forward to another great year. We have already started planning our Jump Rope for Heart event, which is always a great success. The Dance program will be back again where students can test their dance moves while following along with a computer system. Our fourth and fifth grade students worked hard on their physical fitness testing and they are working hard to improve their scores come May. Remember every day to try and take at least 10,000 steps to stay healthy! From the PTA to you: We’ve had a wonderful start to the school year, and it’s hard to believe that fall is finally upon us. With this being the month of “thanks” I would like to start by thanking everyone that has joined the PTA this year and welcome back those of you that have been long time members. We have a returning executive board this year. They are Wendi Calabria Vice President, Vicki Reiderer, Treasurer, Carol Heffren, Corresponding Secretary and Christienne O’Rourke, Recording Secretary. I would like to thank each of them for the time and effort they put into making the Gatelot PTA a very special group that always has what’s best for our students at the heart of all they do. To all of our volunteers, too numerous to mention individually, thank you! Thank you for being class parents, chairing events, running fundraisers, putting together wonderful newsletters, and working tirelessly behind the scenes. We couldn’t do it without your help. I appreciate all of the long hours you dedicate to making our school a special place, and I hope the smiles on our student’s faces remind you of just how much you are appreciated. There have been a lot of fun things happening around Gatelot these days too. Our students have enjoyed many things just since the start of the school year. From pumpkin patches in the Gatelot courtyard to unique field trips, and there’s so much more to come. Our Chinese Auction, WINGO, Mother/daughter brunch at Villa Lombardi’s , Father/son event to name a few. Please know that all we do as a PTA goes directly back to our students and our school. Our goal is to enrich their educational experiences, and hopefully their lives. We encourage you to join the “Official Gatelot Avenue PTA “ facebook page and check the Gatelot website for all of the latest PTA happenings. Finally, thank you to Mrs. Kleinman and the entire Gatelot staff for your constant support. I think I can speak for everyone by letting you know how much we appreciate all of you for making our events a priority and making us feel like family when we are in the building. Wishing all of our Gatelot families a very happy and healthy holiday season. Warm Regards, Christina Miller PTA President Third Grade Writing!! Drake Della Ratta 3-3 One Halloween night on the year of 2014. My friends and I were walking in the dark creepy woods. The wind picked up and the leaves started falling off trees. Suddenly my legs started to itch. I lloked down and saw I was standing in a patch of posion ivy. As we walked our eyes started to hurt from the bright full moon. We kept on walking on the dark spooky path. The path stopped. We reached an old house. We wanted to know what was inside of this spookey house. We knockee on the door. There was no answer so we let ourselves in. Suddenly, I saw a shadow running threw the hallway. I turned around but nothing was there. I stopped and examined around the room. The next thing I knew something hairy tickeld the back of my legs. I reached down to scratch my legs but nothing was there. My chest started to pound. I felt like I ran 20 miles. Out of nowhere I heard footsteps stomping. The bangs were getting louder. I turned around again. And I saw a hairy furry warewolf staring at me. In The Old Abandoned House Elizabeth Miessmer 3-4 It was a dark and gloomy Halloween night, when all alone I approached the last house on the block. It was set far back in the bare trees and had cracked windows. As I got closer I thought to myself “Why did I have to get lost from all of the other kids I was trick or treating with?” It seemed that all of the doors were boarded up except for the damp wooden gate. I stepped onto the gate’s stone path. It let to the one door on the house that was not boarded up. As I was about to turn the knob, I heard an ear splitting screech. I was scared to step in, but my imagination got the best of me. I hesitated to step in, but I did. I heard the gemmed curtains jingling from the wind outside. As I kept walking a little bit, I notived lit candlesticks. I also noticed broken dishes. As I walked though the foyer, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a shadowy figure coming toward me. Never mind I think it was just my shadow from the light of the moon. Even though I thought it was just me, my knees were still shaking. When I went further and further through the first floor, I noticed a clump of hair on the floor. I’m guessing the person who used to live here had a cat or a dog. I picked up the clump of hair (yuck) and threw it away. I was still scared and I got the chills down my spine. I walked up the spiral staircase. When I got to the top, I felt something sharp on my neck. I turned around and saw a werewolf. I screamed when I saw it. When I stoped screaming, my sister took off her mask, I was furius but I stil couldn’t resist laughing. When my sister and I started talking, her friends jumped out. My stomach jumped, because I was so scared and I had forgoten that my sister and her friends were trying to scare me. All together, we walked home and had ice cream. Henry Joseph 3-2 One night me and my brothers Miner, Sam, and Angus were in a dark forest going on a . It was a dark full moon night before Halloween. It was cold and shadowy because of clouds passing by the full moon. We were on a Quest for the sacred Halloween treasure. We saw a glow in the trees. We thought that it was just from our torch. But then we got a little closer and found out that it really was, a huge dark scary castle! “This had to be the place I thought.” So I checked my wheapons and gear because there are supposed to be three gardians of the treasure. I told my brothers that we were going inside. When we went to the big doors of the castle, they suddenly opend and blew the torch out and sucked us in the dark scary castle! The doors slamed shut behind us. I saw 3 goblins armed with swords I quickly drew my sword and started to fight against all three of them! I told my brothers to stay back. Then I tripped the goblins and jumped on them. I tied them up with ropes. Then we started to walk further into the castle. I heard a big stomping and banging sound. In front of me! I hoped it wasen't what I thought it was. But it is a 13 feet hiy troll! With a spiked club! I told my brothers to use their bows and arrows to fire at the rampaging troll. I got my mace and smashed it as hard as I could on the trolls foot. It let out a shreik of pain and fell over with a humanges THUD! I quickly threw a sleeping bone into its mouth and made it go into a deep sleep. Phew! I shared my way threw the vampire bats and spider and . And found myself face to face with a gigantic ghost night! I told my brothers to stay where they were. The giant ghost night drew his huge sword I drew mine and deflected a two hand cut wich could have sliced me in two. Then it attacked. It was jabing at me and giving me wounds with every atack. Then it nocked me down I thought that all was lost but just then 3 flaming arrows came shirling over my head and struck the ghost night in the chest and defeated it. My brothers are the ones who shot the arrows. They came running to help me with my several wounds when I was all fixed up I asked my brothers to help me find the secret door. We felt around for awhile then I found it and saw the Halloween treasure! I picked it up and brought it back home. I guess there will be a Halloween after all. Riley Hetman 3-1 It was a spooky, scary Halloween night. I was trick or treating with my 2 cousins Gracie and Kate. There was lots of bats flying around the streets. Kate saw a shadow and followed it. Me and gracie followed her because we had to stay together. Kate kept running and running We followed behind. Then after turning the corner we saw a creepy abandoned house. We stopped and looked at it. We all decied to go in. Grace stepped on the rug and twisted the blue door knob but there was a key hole. We couldn’t get in. Then I looked under the rug and saw a key to the hole. So I opened it and we were in. It was cold, Then, I heard bones a felt a cold air. We were all scared! Then we all looked for a lightswitch but all we found was yucky spider webs. We all spotted stairs. We decied to go up. I went and climbed them. Then we found a door and decided to go in. I turned the doorknob and there was skeleton. Then he stood up and said “you better run otherwise I will chase you three.” Then we all turned around and ran out of the house completely. Andrew Metzger 3One day Andrea, Phil, Andrew and Paige went to a haunted house on a dark, forbidden graveyard off of Route 25A. It was a dark, mysterious night, October 31, 1872. Phil was driving the car when we were going to Grandmas house but he made a wrong turn and ended up at a haunted house. He thought it was Grandmas new house. Andrew and Paige to go in but Andrea was frightend to go in. All of a sudden an old womaen yelled come in. We went inside but the old women was not Grandma. Suddenly we looked around the house. When we got to the dining room we heard a loud scream. We examined the room and we heard a voice. The voice said “Watch your back.” But in the corner they found a record player playing spooky music. Then they went in the living room. They saw blood on the wall. Paige screamed very loud she started to cry. Andrew felt the blood and tasted blood. He realized it was just tomato sauce. Then they found the stairs. We decided to go upstairs. They heard weird noises. Andrea ran downstairs to get out but the door was bolted shut. She screamed “WALLY KUNKS” and went back upstairs. Andrew and Phil found a bedroom. The 4 of us went in the bedroom. They sat on the bed. Phil felt something touch his legs. He heard something say “Come out come out wherever you are”. Andrew and Paige looked under the bed and a friendly vampire popped out and said “Happy Halloween”! Fourth Grade Writing! 4-1 Christopher Lally Small Moment Writing A time I felt happy was when I won the Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup is the Hockey Championship. It is so special to me because it is a big accomplishment. One reason I remember this moment is because it was against out biggest enemies, the Marauders. They have been trying to beat us for years. They were winning 1-0 with one minute left and then we scored. The game was going to overtime. There was 30 seconds left and we scored! We won the game 2-1. We went on to the next season and we played the Marauders again and we beat them again the first game of the season. The Marauders fans were really mad. Delaney Ortiz Small Moment Writing A time I will never forget is two years ago when I went camping over the summer break. I went with my aunt, my uncle, my mom, my dad and my two brothers, Diego and Dario. My aunt and my uncle have a camper boat. I always use our tent. When we got there me and my brothers went fishing with my uncle. We used fake purple worms. Even though they weren’t real they were gross!! Whenever I tried to throw my hook into the water I got it caught on something. It got stuck in a tree on my uncle’s pants and my mom’s shirt. When I finally got it into the water, I got something. When I pulled it in I realized it was just a lot of seaweed. Then I threw it in again and I caught a fish. My fish was small and black but I was still very happy. My older brother caught a fish too and it was a little bigger and silver. My uncle carefully took our fish off the hooks and put them into a bucket of water. My little brother didn’t catch anything and my uncle didn’t either. When my little brother looked inside the bucket and when he saw the fish he said, “We got dinner!” We all laughed and my uncle put the fish back inside the lake and we all started playing. I really enjoyed going fishing. The Hudson River By Zoey Gulotta 4-2 The Hudson River is important for many reasons. The first one is its size. The Hudson River is one of New York’s largest rivers. The Hudson River is 300 miles long. When the Mohawk River joins the Hudson River it becomes deep enough for ships to sail. The Hudson River has many tributaries. The largest tributary is the Mohawk River. Another reason the Hudson River is important is its location. The mouth of a river means the end of the river. The mouth of the Hudson River is the Atlantic Ocean. The source of a river means the beginning. The source of the Hudson River is high in the Adirondack Mountains. The Hudson River flows from North to South across New York State. Another reason is its use as a transportation route. The Indians use the Hudson River to trade with each other. Soon, the English, then the Dutch used it to trade also. The Hudson River is now used to ship goods and people. The Hudson River is important for many reasons, its size, location and use as a transportation route. Brown Belt By Joseph Santoro 4-2 This was my 5th belt in karate. It is my favorite belt of all. This is my story of getting my brown belt. I was the first one at my karate school. I put my bag on the floor and took pictures of me with my dad. Then I talked to my friends and started practicing form and selfdefense. Next, Mrs. Ward lined us up and she got us warmed up (push-ups and jumping jacks). Then I went to the back of the room. First I did my form. Then I did sparing with Edward. Then I went up and got my brown belt. I also go my new schedule. I was so excited when I heard I was going to be with the black belts! Finally, I went home and decided where to go to eat.

The Best Ride Ever – “Small Moment story” By, Evan San Filippo Class 4-3 It was the best ride ever at Disney World. I was so frightened at first to go on this ride. There were cannons firing. It sounded like a gun shot was going off. The boat was moving very calmly, and then a second later there was a fire. It was bursting. The people tried to put the fire out. The fire was as hot as a really hot day. After minutes later, they managed to put the fire out. Then, the pirates came and they were chasing the people. It was very funny. After that it was almost over. At the end, when the pirates weren’t paying attention, Jack silently stole all the gold. This pirate ride was the best ride ever at Disney World.
