T.W.A.S.

This week we went to festival du voyager (AMAZING TRIP). As soon as we got there the first thing I saw was a mini donut stand, and really cool ice sculptures. The first stop we made was a bonfire. There was a boy and a girl there talking about how maple sap was made, and how maple sap was discovered. After that we went to another bonfire and there was 2 boys talking about how they got the sap out of the tree and more about how sap was made into syrup. Next we went to a maple taffy tent (the tent was not made out of taffy) there was taffy making inside the tent. When we went inside there was a big long table with snow on the top. Then a man would poor maple syrup and let it cool for a second and then you would put your stick on the side and roll it up and then you have taffy on a stick. I liked mine but it was not my favourite. Then we went to shop in a big tent. There were so many little places inside the tent to shop. I got mom a wooden bracelet and Jo got her mom a matching one too. Me and Jo got matching infinity rings. We also bought food. Festival was so fun wish I could go back!

This week we had a…. MATH TEST. The math test was not that hard. It was about estimation. We learned about front end rounding, compatible numbers and compensation.  Here is an example of front end rounding:  354+ 250+79

300+200+70 = 570   so it would be about 570. Front end rounding is not always accurate.

This week we also had to work on our French book. We are making mini French books. It’s so cool because you don’t need tape. The books are about what sports you and your friends like or don’t like. We made a book similar to this last year.

This week we also had library. I took out a horse book. Jolene gave me and Karlee a horse test. During library STOP-DROP-AND- READ music came on and Hailey started dancing in the middle of the library. Jolene took a random book from Karlee and I just read a random book.
