Today I went to Verona and in Verona we did the arena and the piazza with a whale rib hanging from an archway and the balcony of Juliet and the Adige (the river in Trento) and the PARK TO GET ICE CREAM! Have you had ice cream on a trip with your class before?

First at the arena we did some sketching and some climbing. And at the piazza we walked around and over to Juliet's balcony. (It was crowded.) Then we did a walk along the Adige and over to the park (and got some ice cream). And then we RAN TO OUR TRAIN! (I drank my whole bottle of water on the train.)

La Piccola Bambina

La Piccola Bambina, una fiaba scritta da Maya

Tanto tempo fa, nel 1787, c'era una bambina chiama Agata. Lei viveva in una piccola casetta in una piccolo villaggio. La sua famiglia era povera. Un giorno, lei andò al un parte del fondo della foresta per prendere un pò di frutti di bosco.

Agata doveva andare a casa. Lei non aveva paura perché ha sempre preso la stessa strada. All'improvviso, una strega é apparso e ha messo una mano sulla bocca di Agata. La strega ha preso Agata alla casa sull'albero. Agata non ha potuto trovare l'uscita. Adesso aveva paura perché lei ha sentito la strega chi era nella cucina preparando da mangiare Agata.

Agata ha chiesto alcuni uccellini se loro hanno saputo dove l'uscita é stata. Hanno detto di no ma che hanno conosciuto qualcuno che potrebbe aiutare.

Un cavallo chi vola é apparso fuori dalla finestra. Agata si é seduta sul cavallo. Il cavallo é volato a casa sua. Lei ha visto la mamma e il papà fuori della casetta, e loro erano felici di vedere Agata!

Today I was picked up by Amy and GP. 5 more days until my birthday! Today we did practice "star test" (invalsi). The test was for 5th grade. I still remember the first problem:

24 bambini
1 mela ogni bambini
3 arancia ogni bambini

24 + 24 = 48
48 + 48 = 96

It was SO easy peasy lemon squeezy.
