Math Unit 1 Reflection

  In school this week we finished Unit 1 of Math Workshop. For me it went pretty well. Over all, the unit went pretty smoothly for me. I had a little trouble with exponents, but everything else went well.
  The math test went really well for me. I was able to do it pretty easily, so over all, I think the test went well for me.

Where The Mountain Meets The Moon

  Where The Mountain Meets The Moon- a fantasy tale- centers on Minli, a young girl who is brave and loves adventure. Her family is poor, so she sets out on an epic quest to find the Old Man of The Moon, and change her fortune. Her father- Ba- would tell her stories about dragons and adventure. Her mother-Ma- disapproves of Ba's stories, finding them worthless.
  My prediction for what will happen next is that Minli- having befriended a dragon- will continue on her journey to Never ending Mountain, and the monkeys- that guard the peach trees- will interrupt her progress.

My Trip To London

Lovely London

   This past summer I went to London for the first time. My parents and I took a car service to New Jersey, stayed overnight at a hotel, and boarded the plane early the next morning.
   The flight was seven hours long, but it went by quickly because we each got an entertainment system (with movies, music, and games.) There is a time change in London so we got there late at night.
   We took the tube (the subway in London) to the hotel. The tube is much neater than the subway and each of the seats is soft, not hard. Other than the neatness, the tube is pretty similar to the subway back here in New York.
   As soon as we got to the hotel, we got dinner and got to sleep. We stayed in London for a week. We came on a Monday and came back on the next one.
   Some of the places we visited include: The London Eye, The Science Museum, Shakespeare's Globe, and Hamleys (this gigantic toy store.)
