Mini Post :)

I am not going to write a long blog post today. I have to run some tests because I have had a pretty bad asthmatic cough allergy for a while now.


This weekend, we went to Switzerland to visit our friends. It was Amazing! We went to the glacier Mortarash and it was fantastic show to Leah what landmarks we have near home.

The weekend was very relaxing and I got to spend a lot of time with Leah and Alessandra. I showed her the show we have been obsessed with, Gilmore Girls! She really enjoyed it and even asked us to play it in English with Italian subtitles. That was very interesting because she is so little and barely speaks any English. We ate a lot of cheese and chocolate, two things that Switzerland is famous for. I was sleepy during the car ride home and we had a relaxing evening before starting our school week.

After doing our blog posts today, Leah is showing us something called Mad Libs. Basically, Mad Libs is this game and activity where you fill in the blanks of a story without reading the story first. It is a good way to practice some new words we have learned. It also makes us use different types of grammar because of the past and present tense switching during the story. At the end, we will read the stories we helped write!

I am excited for this activity because the two topics Leah picked are especially interesting for us: one about Disney World and the other about someone's first day of school.
