The Math Exhibition


The math exhibition was coming and all the PYP classes were very busy. So was ours. I was going to talk about “how to make tangram pieces” out of squared paper, with Tejaswini. Each and every child in the class got to know what they have to say. Then we all had a chance to practice in front of the class. I and Teju were ready earlier then other people. So we helped others on their charts and we also helped Miss Poonam decorate the class.
The day was about to come and all of us were putting the tables into there places. But Teju and I got separated because Nikita needed a lot of help so Teju went to her group and me alone. But somehow I was happy to be able to manage talking about a topic alone. And I had to seat next to Ricky and Nicolas who were talking about “how to make tangram DESIGNS”.
The PYP had the math exhibition on Wednesday 19th March 2008 from prep 1 to grade 5. Our grade talked about all kinds of things we learnt in math: large numbers, tangrams, graphs, coordinates, number patterns, transformations, and much, much more.
I told the customers what tangrams were and I showed them how to make tangram pieces, then I passed the pieces to my classmates and they showed the people how to make different shapes out of it.
I really liked the math exhibition because I had a lot of fun and my throat didn’t hurt like on the day of the science exhibition which is one of the reasons why I liked the math exhibition better and the other reason is because we knew exactly what other people were talking about.

My surgery

On Wednesday March 5th I went to the manipal hospital for a surgery. I was having it on my spinal cord. It was my 7th surgery. I was out of the hospital on Saturday, March 8th. I have to stay home for a few weeks before going back to school. Both Mrs.Poonam and Mrs.Mohua came to visit me. The food that the hospital gave was horrible!!! It was so bad my mom and dad had to bring food from home. In the American hospitals you get pizza and burgers but what I noticed in India it is rice,rice and more rice.
My doctor showed my mom and my dad a video of the surgery. They even saw the people cutting me open!!! My mom thought the video was really neat and my dad almost barfed.
I am looking forward to coming to school soon.
