Why I Like Homeschool

I like homeschool better than public school because at school they teach evolution. I don't believe evolution.

And when you homeschool you get to spend a lot of time with your Mom. And you can ask her questions. Like if you do something wrong on your school project you can ask her if you're doing good or bad on your schoolwork.

And you get to play a lot more than you do at regular school.

When you homeschool you get to read a lot. I like going to the library and checking out books with my own library card.

When you homeschool you get to go to the playground and play in your back yard, instead of waiting 6 hours.

I wouldn't want to ride the school bus. Eating at home is better than eating at school because the food tastes better.

Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!

Hooray for Diffendoofer Day was very cool. I liked the teacher Miss Bonkers. She is as bouncy as a flea. She teaches pigs to put on underpants. And one time she taught a duck to sing. And a frog to march. And how to tell a cactus from a cow.

Note from Mom:
This was a book that was roughed out by Dr. Seuss but that he never finished before he died. It's classic Seuss but with a twist.

Koko The Gorilla's Kitten

I liked Koko's Kitten. It was cool when Koko got a kitten. A real kitten! And the sad part was when Kiko's kitten got hit by a car. But then, Koko got a new one. And it had a happy ending.

Note from Mom:
I'm so glad we picked this book up. It brought tears to my eyes! I was absolutely amazed at Koko's intelligence and sensitivity, and her love for her kitten. This is a very endearing book.

The Story of the World- Susan Bauer

I especially like the hanging gardens of Babylon and I liked all the stuff about Assyria. It was cool. I liked it. The Assyrians were very violent. People were afraid of them. And I liked Hatshepsut the woman Pharaoh. And Hatshepsut didn't conquer any countries. And so people liked Hatshepsut. She pretended to be a man.

Alexander the Great treated people royally. He didn't burn down houses when he conquered a country. And he treated the royal families well. He let them stay in their palaces and live.

The Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer

Note from Mom:
This is the book I am using to teach Caleb History. It is recommended by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer in their book "The Well Trained Mind". I am enjoying it as much as Caleb is! He often wants to read more than one chapter in a sitting. The Story of the World also has an activity book that can be purchased separately.

Magic School Bus Books- Adventures in Egypt

Mrs. Frizzle's Adventures in Ancient Egypt was cool. I learned how ancient Egyptians farmed and what their homes looked like. And, one Egyptian had a big, humongous house. He was a scribe, and he was very wealthy. His house even had an indoor shower and toilet.

Note from Mom:
In keeping with the ancient Egypt theme, I let Caleb check this one out from the library. He read it several times.

Tutankhamen's Tomb

Tutankhamen's Tomb was interesting. And, I learned quite a few things from the book of Tutankhamen's Tomb. My favorite page was the one with Tutankhamen's third coffin. It was made of solid gold.

Note from Mom:
Caleb is studying ancient history at the moment and we have been learning about Egypt. He enjoys reading about the Pharaohs.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Book Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Book

This book was cool. I read 3 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle books. I read them while Mom was at a Barnes and Noble Educator Open House. I ate 5 cookies! And I had half a cup of coffee. One of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles books I read was called Friends Forever Until The End.

The Day I Helped Pop-Pop Build a New Dagobah

I like helping Pop-Pop build things.
It makes me like a grown up.
Dagobah is where Yoda lives.
I have a Dagobah in Nannie and Pop-Pops front yard.

We put new hinges on it.
And we found a door that had everything we need on it.
And I can go in whenever I want to at Nannie's.

How Much I Love Mommy

I love Mommy a lot. I love her 1000 times. Anyway, if she's angry, I still love her, but if she's sad, I still love her. But if she's mad, I still love her.
I can't wait to go with my Mom to somewhere.

I went to see the Incredibles with Dad. And I want Mom to see it.
I'm all done.

I'm Klaus Baudelaire

You're Klaus Baudelaire.

Aunt Patty at Nannie's House

I went to the airport yesterday.
And I'm glad to see Patty, my great Aunt. And so it was a lot of fun.
And I got to take the wheelchair apart. And we ate tacos. UM!
And we got to talk and drink Root Beer.
That's all I have to say.

AND...my last word...I get to spend time with my Mommy and Daddy, brother, sister.
Ok Mom that's all I have to say.

When I Lived Close to Nannie

When I was 3 I lived close to Nannie. I loved to visit her. Because she had the yummiest pie.
Umm. And I like her marshmallows. Umm.

I like roasted marshmallows, on crackers too...whaddya call those?
S'mores.
Nannie promised she would get the big marshmallows so we could roast them in the fireplace.

There's 4 more things I wanna say.

I can't wait to see her.
I love my sister too.
I love my Mom too.
And my Dad. And my brother.

That's it.

Dad and vanilla ice cream

Dad bought me vanilla ice cream for $2.
And I enjoyed it. I love Dad. I don't like to miss him.
I miss him when he's at work.

I can't wait to see my Nannie this week.

The Kid's Museum

They have mountains to climb, they have that think where you put the boxes on that go up up and down. And, um, they have the greatest fountain where you can wear fireman jackets so you can get in the water and splash.

And my favorite...I like the part about the playland, and one more thing I wanna say: I like the statues too.

I'm done.

Chuck E Cheese's

I like the one about the helicopter that floats you up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down.

And I like the one where you catch bees and put them into their honeycomb thingie.

And I like the one about where you toss the ball in the frog's mouth.

And this one is my favorite: I like the one about when you bang the aliens down.

The one about where you throw the ball into the hole, and see how much points you get.

And I like the one about where you kick the soccer ball and see if you can bang the man.

I like the one about the basketball you shoot in the shoe and see if you can get it.

I got a lot of prizes when we had a lot of tickets.
