Little house on the prairie

for a whole term we were reading a book called Little house on the prairie that we recently finished it. the book is about a family called the ingalls their names were Mary,Laura,Carrie,Charles and Caroline. they moved from their old house because it was to crowded where they lived and they chose to live in the prairie and they had to use a wagon because cars weren't a thing when they lived and on their trails they had to stop to make camp a couple of times but a tragic thing that happened was they had to cross a creek and their dog Jack got lost and they thought he died but he didn't they found that out when they thought saw a wolf and Charles nearly shot it and luckily he didn't because it was their dog Jack they were so happy to see him they thought they lost him in a chapter they started building their house and they had to do it quick because there were actual wolves coming fifty of them and Caroline sprained her leg.

a couple chapters after that two Indians came to the house while Charles was out hunting for food and Mary and Laura were worried for Carrie and Caroline which was their ma and Charles was their pa and they were worried they were going to let Jack off his chain to kill the Indians but Charles said not to let off his chain so they listened but Laura went inside to see what was happening and the Indians were by the fireplace that they built when Caroline sprained her leg and the story took so long to finish

Fox research

This week I had to write a report of an animal and I chose a fox or a kitsune in Japanese because a fox is my favourite animal and it was super fun and good learning for me. I felt challenged when I had to figure out how many species of foxes there were because to find out where they came from and their habitats but I figured it out and found out there were 37 species of foxes and I only had to find out 3 places of the world some foxes lived and 3 habitats. I can improve this by getting more research about foxes and get help from a person who knows about foxes or just choose a animal I know things about and I would not be stuck on the habitat or country it is from. and here is a question to you,If you had to write a report about an animal what animal will it be comment your answer

last Thursday I went to mindlab for the second to last time this year and this week we had to get into groups of 3 and I was in a pair with my friend Cassidy and cousin Michael  we had to put everything back together from 2 weeks ago it was really hard to remember everything but in the end we did it

next thing we had to do was the coding and that was really successful thanks to Michael and my job was to hold the wheels so they wouldn't get tangled up because we couldn't build until next week so we just had fun with the wheels until our next instructions but the only instruction was to see if the car worked and then after that it was time to go and are going back for the final in 1 week I can't wait for that
