Barecelona

The first day we went to Barcelona and then had dinner. The next day, we saw Casa Batllo. There was a house for a rich chocolate maker and at the bottom of the house there was a chocolate shop. Then we saw some clowns dancing and stopped (it was cool). On La Rambla we saw a magic fountain. Then we went to a market called Mercat Sant Josep. Then we had lunch. Yum. Then we had hot chocolate. Yuck. Then we went to a church. After that we went to the roof. Then we went to a courtyard. Then we had ice cream. Then we saw human statues. Then we had dinner. The next day we went to La Sagrada Familia. It was made by Gaudi. On the church there were angels with instruments. Then we went to a park with some snacks. Then we went to Park Guell which was lovely but we did not see the lizard. Then we saw some statues. Then we had some lunch. Then we went to a different park. Then we had dinner. The next day we we went to Casa Batllo and we had a thing that showed us what it was like when it was a house. Then we went to the roof. Then we had lunch. Yum. (I was hungry.) Then me and Milena went to a church with dad. Then we did some races. (I won them all.) Then we went on a lift and went to another church. We got to go to dinner with the three grownups. ARE YOU HAVING FUN?

Hi, hi, hi. How are you? (Answer here ________) Today I went to school. At school, we did English, Religion, and Storia. In English, we watched a movie and got some homework (which is easy peasy lemon squeezy). In religion we did nothing. Then we had lunch, which was salad and potatoes and meat with vegetables. In Storia, we did a worksheet with a party following. Now it is Christmas break! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Today we had a show/party. The show was like this:






Mom says we did fantastic. At the party we had snack and drinks. Me and Sura and Giulia all made cards for the teachers. Also for Lana's teacher. I miss YOU SO much.


[Note: Here's what they're reading in the last video. I cut out the beginning simply because it was three and a half minutes long! It's a "bag bad wolf" story. The wolf goes around the forest asking all the little animals who's the biggest and baddest of all. And, of course, they all reassure him, it's you!

Until he meets a baby dragon.

"Hi, you horrible thing," he says to the little dragon. "I don't suppose you know who is the strongest of all?"

Of course, this is when all of the animals have assured the wolf that he is the strongest of all. But the baby dragon has a different answer.

"Oh, of course. It's my mom."

The wolf can't believe what he hears, so he demands a second time. This is where Maya starts reading (in the voice of a baby dragon):

"Ma te l'ho già detto. La mia mamma è la più forte... e anche la più buona... tranne con chi è cattivo con me!"
"But I already told you. My mom is the strongest. And also the most good. Except with people who are mean to me!"

Then...

"È tu, chi sei?"
"And you, who are you?"

To which the wolf responds... oh, I am the "little good wolf!"]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING! Now your consequence is you have to tell me two sentences in Italian. OK, just one. And Amy 80. Today we did Italian. I did my Monday class and in that class I did a dictation (in Italian) then we went to the playground. Then we had maths. We did MMT (Mental Maths Test). Then we had a geometry test that was super easy for me!! Then we went to the playground and it was fun. Then we went to lunch. For lunch we had pasta and artichokes and something else I do not remember. Then we went back to the playground. That was fun too. Then we had geography with a teacher named ... . She asked us to write things that you find in Trento and make symbols for them. Then we had a practice for our Christmas show. We went over how it was going to start and who is going to start it. Then we packed up our bags and went home. Before I came home we went to get vegetables. Now I am doing writing. For dinner we are having shrimp and pasta. I will put my clothes away and then watch a movie with Cora.

We learned a new song called "Somewhere only we know." Today we had Italian and science and maths. In Italian I did a history test in English (which was not hard and not easy). In science we started nature and watched part of the Lorax, which was really fun. In maths we did multiplication in columns and the checking trick. It looks like this:

5 | 2
-----
6 | 6

Cool, right? I MISS YOU ALL! What are you doing?

Today I went to school. At school I did history and religion and maths. In history we did a test and I did not know most of the answers because mom did not let me study at all!!! At school Cora played with play-doh. For lunch Cora had salad, risotto and meat.

[Since I transcribe for Maya, I get to defend myself. She told me the test was on Thursday, so I told her last night when it got late that she could study tonight...]
