Dear Wang Mei,
It isn’t snowing today, but there is still snow on the grass. In Edmonton, the
spring weather is a little wild. It can be cold and snowy or warm and sunny.
The temperature can be as low as -15°C, but it can also reach 15°C. We
probably won’t see any flowers until May or June!
After school today, we had so much fun playing outside. We played “snow”
soccer, but we had to wear jackets, jeans, and boots to stay warm. When
it gets warmer, we can play in our shorts and T-shirts. I like spring because
there are lots of activities to do, like cycling, having picnics, and hiking.
I like the Chinese name for winter jasmine. It’s interesting. Here, we have
Groundhog Day on February 2 for the coming of spring. Do you know what
happens on that day
Another fun part of spring is going to the sugar bush, a big tree farm in the
countryside. We make maple syrup. We eat lots of tasty breakfast foods —
all with maple syrup on them! I love spring activities.
Talk to you soon!
Jenny
