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.
Ankong and Ama’s House
Today, we went to visit Ankong and Ama at their new house. Ankong surprised the kids with a cool drawing tablet.
Peanut drew a snail that has a claw for picking up things.
Janie practiced writing her Chinese name.
Mother’s Day 2020
It’s Mother’s Day and the kids made cards!
“I’m bored”
This guy said “I’m BORED” so I sent him outside with chalk and had him do this.
I also took him out for a bike ride. Poor guy.
Homework
Peanut did his reading and writing homework today.
He also took a long nap. Homework is exhausting.
Birthday Card
It’s almost Janie’s birthday and Peanut wanted to make her a card. We used a YouTube video to learn how to draw her favorite animal, a giraffe.
He also wanted to make a cupcake and lollipop for her so that’s what he did.
Writing Notes
Peanut wanted to write a note to his big sister today. He asked Mama for help with spelling but wrote it all himself. I didn’t get a photo of the note but it said “I love you KK” and then he chose to sign with with “Peanut”.
Home with Dada
It’s Peanut’s third day at home with Dada and Janie. Today, they had leftover Chinese food for lunch.
Janie also had an art class led by the art teacher at Yu Ying. She learned how to draw an octopus and Bulbasaur.
Peanut did a reading lesson in his book today. Today, he had to practice writing the letters “c” and “d”.
He also drew a truck and mini truck being pulled by the bigger truck. Mama helped him write “BEEP BEEP!”
Leela called Janie from Yai’s house today.
Janie’s friend, Maya, from the neighborhood came by while she was riding her bike. They were able to say “hi” to each other from a distance.
Garbage Truck
Peanut made a picture and asked Mama to write Janie a note. He drew a garbage truck. Not bad, Peanut!!
Love
When I think the kids can’t stand each other, I see this. This is what love looks like in the days of COVID-19.
