Watch us grow!
Auntie Jia had bought this desk for Peanut a while ago and it had been sitting in a box until now. He’s at the right age and it’s the perfect time to put it together and get some use out of it. With remote learning ahead of us, he needs a workspace for school and we tried it out today.
The kids kept up with their summer workbooks too.
Here is a drawing of a rocket ship. At first, I thought it was a shark. 🙂
With Shelter-in-Place happening so suddenly and Peanut’s school closing over a weekend, we didn’t have the chance to bring home his belongings. Months later, we were given a day to pick up what he had in his cubby, which included his sunscreen, bandaids, medicine, and some school supplies. This notebook was sent home and it was fun to see the work he did over the first half of the year.
We are back to the reading book! We started it a few months ago but stopped for a while. There are 100 lessons and we will finish it eventually.
This morning at Ankong and Ama’s house, the kids did their worksheets.
Then they made Spam musubi for lunch. So fun!
The kids spent the day at Toni and Thomas’ house. Janie logged onto her Yu Ying class while Peanut worked on a coloring page.
The kids also did a drawing lesson.
Recently, Dada and Uncle Johnny went to Costco and bought some workbooks, tables, and chairs. Today, they set up all the kids with some worksheets to keep their brains working.
Janie also found Uncle Johnny’s old Calvin and Hobbes book and read for a while. Good job, kids!
The kids spent time at Auntie Jia’s house and did some coloring in the “classroom” at their house. 
They also went for a walk to the playground.
This is a fun recess!
Then it was lunchtime and Alice and Leela joined them.
Today was supposed to be their last day of school.
I love these side-by-side photos of them on the first and last days of school.
It’s Peanut’s Graduation Day from preschool. He started as a Honeybee when he was 20 months old and went all the way up to the Pre-Kindergarten class. With the pandemic and shelter-in-place, graduation was modified to a drive-by event. We lined up in our cars and Auntie Eleen decorated their minivan for the occasion.
 
When it was Peanut’s turn, his teachers were there to greet him and presented him with a certificate and tassel.
His buddy Ethan was also right behind us in their car!
Afterward, we met up at the ferry parking lot to take some photos.
Here is Peanut with his buddy Maya. Thanks for the candy lei!!
Congratulations to our Peanut!! Kindergarten, here we come!
In Science class today, Janie learned how to make homemade ice cream using two ziploc bags. We gave it a try and it totally worked! Here’s the recipe:
