Maranza Part 2

Today me and another girl got to clean up after lunch. Which was giving the pig our left-overs, giving the chicken our water, (eating gelato for helping), and getting coffee for the maestre. It was so much fun! We also did not have to listen to the story. I forgot what we had for merenda but right as we were starting to leave it started raining.

Italy 2017: The First Five Days

Around 5 days ago, I got off the plane in Milano. Once we were in Milano, we took a train to Milano Centrale. Once in Milano Centrale, we bought tickets for a train from Milano to Verona to Trento. When we got off the train in Trento, GP was waiting to pick us up. After we said our hellos, we went to a pizza place for dinner. When we went back we went to sleep. The next day we had a BBQ, it was so much fun. There was a tight rope and a place to run around in. After that we went to the house and took a rest before dinner. We had chicken salad for dinner. The next day we had camp. In the morning, we played a game called spider web. It is: you make a spider web by holding a ball of yarn, saying your name, and throwing the yarn to someone. The next day, we went to play in the woods. We had pizza for lunch and I could not stop eating it. The next day we did a lot of things. The next day (today), we went on a long hike UP to go to lunch. After lunch, we were playing when a boy (7 years old) got stung by a wasp. Bye for now.

P.S. I didn't include much info. Sorry. :)

Tuesday June 7

Mom is making me write about my last day of school. Today I got two presents: one from Miss India (a book, there are 24 copies in the world) and one only I got (because I am leaving)--a little box with a card in Italian and a heart that smells like lavender.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH!

Monday June 6

Today in art we painted with our FEET!!!  Tomorrow is the last DAY OF school. I hate most of the school. Today I felt sick. I have a bad cough and I feel horrible. I think it is because I stayed up late last last night.

Today we went to Tridentum. We watched a movie in 3D! Did I like it? YES. This morning I helped Marie (a girl in my class) to do a story about "My trip to Verona" In history I wrote two pages in English. I MISS YOU!

Today I received a package from grandma and grandpa Julien which had two bags of candy, 4 in 1 DVD, 2 pillowcases (from Aunt Theresa), a spirograph and a junior ranger activity book. I MISS YOU ALL!

Wednesday May 25

Today I came home and saw that Cora was building a puzzle and she was whining that she didn't know how to do it. Then I had a snack: yogurt with a cherry liquid solid thing. Cora is eating an apple and is almost finished.

Today Raya gave me a little sheep named Lavender. The poem on it is

I love my purple cute soft color
Hold me close, I'm like no other.

She is very soft and has very sparkly eyes. I MISS YOU!

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.)

Today I went to the wine store with my dad and the wine man asked me if I went to school with Julien Wright's figlia. The answer is "yes" or nod up and down. I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!

I have almost finished 1 YEAR IN SCHOOL.

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.

Today there was an expert in music! We learned a song about Tamara Trout (if you go back a long time you will see what that is). It goes like this: Listen to the water falling down the river. Listen to the water falling down the river. We saw rocks on the river side (2x) Oh oh oh on the river siiide.

Today I forgot my jacket at the playground and at the end of the day M. Anto did not let me get it. (After she did but right when we were about to walk out the door.) I took that maths test I told you about yesterday (if mom has put it on). Most of the problems I did in one second.

April 27, 2016

A second feels like a minute. A minute feels like an hour. An hour seems like a month. A mont seems like...

Today I had cross-curricular and I put up all my photos I did on the trip! We are having a verifica/test in math. But I have not done it yet. I will do it tomorrow.

April 26, 2015
