Today I learned. . .

Shepard:

I want to say, "I spell S-h-e-p-a-r-d. Shepard Goossen. An 'S' looks like a snake. It swirls everywhere like snake. Today I learned how to put it on [my fingers on the pencil the right way]. I think that homeschool is fun. My favorite book is "Berenstain Bears' Big Book of Science and Nature."


Today I learned about weather: What to do when there is snow. Wear mittens. We learned about things that happen during winter months - like Valentine's Day. We make card for people. We make some Valentine decorations. Mom says we wait a few months from now.

My favorite thing today was learning the letter "B."

Selah:

I learned about making a letter "B." It's a long line and two curves and we learned things that start with letter "B". . . like bed, and boxes, and butterflies, books, and baskets.

My favorite reading book today was "A Treasury of Mother Goose"

We read about two sticks in a straight line and a chicken :

My favorite thing about today was learning how to hold the pencil right.
