Auntie Jia sent us this video of Janie reading to her cousins.
Check in
Ms. Bliss logged on today during their 12:00pm Zoom class meeting. She misses her students as much as the kids miss going to school.
Circe Time for Peanut
This morning, Peanut had Circle Time with his preschool teacher and some of his classmates.
He also did some math on Dreambox. This boy is getting an early lesson on how to use a keyboard and mouse.
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.
Virtual Dinner
We had dinner with Uncle Jason, Auntie, Jia, Toni, and Thomas this evening.
More Stories
Toni and Thomas had storytime with Janie again. This is a photo that Auntie Jia took from their house.
Technology
Homeschooling and sheltering in place would not be as productive or stimulating without the technology that we have nowadays. Janie had a Room 33 Meeting with her classmates.
Then a 90-minute Mandarin lesson with her usual teacher at Yu Ying. Her teacher does a great job keeping everyone engaged, listening, and participating. This is money well-spent!
Janie later had storytime with Toni, Thomas, and Peanut. She read them 4 books!!
Short Trip
It was a short but productive weekend. See you all again soon!!!!
Goodbye Party
We went to Uncle Jimmy’s house to not only watch the Super Bowl but to also wish Uncle Victor, Auntie Susie, and Baby Parker a farewell. They’re moving to Austin, TX in a couple weeks and sad to see them go.
Peanut did such as great job entertaining Parker during the party. We got some really good giggles out of him.
We will miss you all! Can’t wait to visit!
Letter to Alice
After receiving Alice’s postcard from Arizona, Janie wrote a letter back to her. She got to use Mama’s stationary too!
