Merry Christmas!

I bet Grandma, Grandpa, Oma and Opa are really going to like their gifts! It's always so special when one of their favorite grandchildren helps make presents for them!

Santa won't be too confused with those four letters. He's probably used to people changing their minds!

I hope you have the best Christmas you've ever had!

Week 14 Contact

I can't post to much about school this week cause we worked on Christmas presents for my grandma and grandpa and oma and opa.  All I can say is that I helped measure and cut and some other things.  If I say any more they might read this and find out what they are getting.  Its a secret!!!  I also wrote a letter to Santa.  I think this is the fourth letter I have written him.  I keep changing my mind.  Have a Happy Christmas Mr. Brooks and anyone else who reads this!

Yummy House

It looks like you have a regular gingerbread town there! Did you do all those?

The Children's Museum looks like a lot of fun! Have you heard that they are trying to figure out a way to use wave at the ocean for creating electricity? They might use some of the things you were experimenting with on that water table.

Whose your little snowman friend?

Merry Christmas!

I got to go to the children's museum this week.  This is me learning about how  I can make water move in different directions by putting up walls.

I got to build gingerbread houses for art this week and we also made donut snowmen for art.

We also started reading a christmas carol.  I love Christmas time!!!

History where we live

It is a lot of fun to learn about events that happened in places where we've been. The Nez Perce lived in Southeastern Washington, Central Idaho, and Northeastern Oregon. I guess they had some amazing horse herds. I read one of their stories about a monster that Coyote kills. He cuts the heart out. I almost drove off the road when I saw the Heart of the Monster down in Idaho when I was on a trip. It's a small hill that I had only seen pictures of before.

I'm glad to hear that you're doing so well with your math. I bet you'll learn those multiplication facts really fast once you get to them!

That mail car with the skies reminds me of the Christmas television show Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. Have you seen that? The narrator is a mailman who has a car like that one. I never knew they were for real!

Week 11 Contact

I don't have any pictures this week, but I am still reading Kaya from the American Girl Books.  I just finished book 2 called Kaya's escape.  I really liked this one.  I was glad that Kaya got away, but am sad that they weren't able to rescue Speaking Rain.  In my native american unit for history we learned about Kaya's Tribe, the Nez Perce.  I used to live close to where her tribe might have lived in Idaho.  In math I am getting really good at counting money and I am also getting really fast at my addition math facts.  My mom says after I get good at my subtraction facts I can start multiplication.  I can't wait!

Week 10 Contact

We got to go to an old car museum.   There were some really neat things there.  Look at how much gas cost.

Some of the cars were really old.  I think this one was from 1924. 

This one was kind of funny.  They put skies on this car so that they could deliver mail to people in the mountains.  My mom also told me that some of the REALLY old cars were called horseless carriages, because they didn't need to use a horse.

We started learning about Native Americans this week.  This is me doing my vocabulary words.

We talked about the Inuit tribe.  I don't think I would have liked to be in that tribe.  It would have been to cold.

I also started reading Kaya from American Girls.  I  LOVE American Girls.  This is the timeline I did of History with the American Girls.  I can't wait to read the rest of the books.
