SEARCHING FOR CENTIPEDES

I’ve been looking for centipedes at school for weeks, with no luck. Finally, I went to Midhill Park with my friend, Aliah, who knows a lot about finding bugs. We found an old fallen tree and looked there.

First we found this really cool pattern that was made, mostly likely, by some kind of bark beetle.

Then we found this interesting bug, which we first thought might be a wasp. But we Googled it and discovered it’s a Banded Ash Borer.

Then, finally, finally! We found a centipede! I caught it in this jar and brought it home to look at more closely. I’ll return it to the park tomorrow!

FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON

It snowed! The day after Christmas!

I went sledding at our new local park, Midhill Park. It’s across the street and up a little path.

Sunnie liked to stay cozy and look at the snow through the window.

We didn’t know if Finley would still want to go on his walk, but he loved it. Can you find him?

PLAYING WITH KENJI & HANUKKAH NIGHT 7

Kenji and I spent the morning playing at home with everything in my playroom.

Eventually, Kenji found a spray water bottle. We had way too much fun spraying water into a bowl.

Then we went to the playground and had loads of fun.

In the evening, we celebrated the 7th night of Hanukkah.

Kenji got stickers and I got a book and another subway train – the F train!
