I saw a sign in our neighborhood for a lost kitty. So I wanted to go on a walk to find her. We never found her. But we put the catnip back down on the deck to see if we can lure her in. The search continues!

GO KARTING
Grandma and Grandpa got me this Go Kart for Hanukkah. I’ve been using it in the house since then, but I finally took it for a spin outside.
Don’t you think I’m a good Go Kart model?
I practiced my braking skills on this super steep hill.
Pedaling up a hill takes even more practice!
SCENES FROM ROLLER COASTER CENTRAL
Last week, I read a book about roller coasters while sitting on my homemade roller coaster.
Then Hugs and Baby Rosie rode on my homemade roller coaster.
For school, I wrote a “web list” about roller coasters…
…and drew a diagram of Kingda Ka.
Then, sadly, I actually had to do a lesson about bees.
And I saw a cute cat on our walk.
That was cool because I like cats, too!
SCENES FROM DANDELION FARMING
The early part of the week was sunny and warm, so we took walks along the path by our house.
We came across this cool little creation someone made.
One of my favorite flowers is the dandelion!
I love taking their seeds and planting them nearby.
Actually, the whole town is in bloom right now.
By mid-week, it was cold and damp, so I played inside on my homemade roller coaster.
And did some windowsill reading.
But I eventually went out again and made some chalk drawings.
Puzzle update: We did it! We finished!
Okay…two pieces are missing. We got 99.8% of the way there, though. Not bad, huh?
Corn cob update: It’s taking over.
SCENES FROM “DISTANCE LEARNING FOR ALL”
This past week, my school started “Distance Learning For All,” which meant I actually had to do school work. All of my teachers posted lessons and assignments on Google Classroom.
We got to upload a picture of ourselves for our Google Classroom. I instead opted to make a Memoji on Mommy’s phone and used this as my avatar:
Here is my work about hibernators:
I also did some math work using my LEGO roller coaster cars…
…and read from one of the books Grandma sent me. (Thanks, Grandma!)
My PE teacher gave us several options to choose from. I decided to do the “40 Mile Challenge.” So Mommy and I went on a daily walk and logged my distance. I walked over 3 miles last week! I’ll keep counting until I reach 40 miles.
Outside of school, I watered the plants with my water gun…
…and built a new indoor amusement park ride.
Mommy also taught me how to play checkers.
Puzzle update: We’re getting close! Do you think we’ll finish it this week?
Garden update: We planted some individual corn sprouts, but we’re still keeping this cob growing as a science experiment.
BYE, TOOTH
I’m home sick, and it’s a good thing I didn’t go to school because it was time to say goodbye to baby tooth #4.
PANDA AND THE MOON
I had my first kindergarten music performance called “Panda and the Moon.” I played a monkey!
My music teacher, Mrs. Kelly, recorded the performance, so I will have a link for that eventually.
Here we are performing the Monkey Rap: “Nana banana buh-buh-banana!”
Here is the cast! The monkeys, peacocks, moon, panda, and fish.
J. WILLY’S
For Leap Day, we went out to dinner in the historic Willamette neighborhood of West Linn. Daddy and I played Tic-Tac-Toe while we waited for our food.
I chose the restaurant, J. Willy’s, because they had pizza on the kid’s menu. It was really good pizza!
HAIRCUT AND PLAYGROUND
It was haircut day! While I waited for my turn, I did what Daddy and I call “the joke dance.”
Here’s the “before” picture:
Then after my haircut, we went to my school’s playground to play.
Here’s the “after” picture:
LEGO CLUB: AMUSEMENT PARK
After a bit of a hiatus, I returned to LEGO Club with Daddy! I even saw my classmates, Milo and Henry, there.
No surprise, I built an amusement park. Blair, the Master Builder who runs the program, gave me a suggestion to add hinges and supports to my roller coaster track. I took his suggestion and it turned out awesome!
