Community and friendship

I was successful as a friend and because on the hog call I was paring people up with other people and I was a good friend at the maze when I got to help other people through the maze. During the hog call I found that the gestures sometimes were helpful but not all of the time. I think that They were helpful when you had already found your partner and you were trying to figure what word you were.  The marble challenge was really hard and we worked very well as a group, we tried a lot of things. They all would have worked if we had more practice.

Seedfolks Favorite Character

Ana is my favorite character because she is very brave and she looks out for her community. She watches out for anything suspicious and calls the police about it. She is also helpful because she helped Kim with the lima beans. Later someone came along and dug up some of those plants. The police came and arrested him for doing that. She also looks out her window and can see lake Erie from it.

The place that I would like to visit

 

Washington D.C.

The place that I would like to visit again is Washington D.C. is because I would like to visit more of the museums. I would also like to visit the white house when I go there. When I go I would like to stay a month go everywhere that Washington D.C. has to offer. I have already been there twice and would like to go again. That is why I would like to go again to Washington D.C.washington DC
