Dear
Kieran,
How
are you doing? I’m doing fine, although I miss you very much and wish we could
spend every day together. The good news is that we get to see once another again
in just six days, on the afternoon of Friday, May 24! I can’t wait to see you
again!
I
put together the Star Trek transporter Lego kit for us to play with when we get
together. It’s really cool. One side is the transporter room. You can put your Lego
guy on the transporter pad; when you press a button, a blue light flashes, and
the pad spins around to the back side, which is a scene from the planet he just
beamed down to! There are some more Star Trek Lego characters I can pick up at
the toy store, so I will make sure that we have some of them to put together
and play with on the transporter kit!
We
used to have lots of great Lego kits to play with when we lived in California. A
few were from Harry Potter, a couple form Pirates of the Caribbean, and most were
from Star Wars. Not only were they fun to put together but to later incorporate
into our playtime with all of the neat Lego figures we had. I still have most
of the Lego figures and will make sure to get them out for you once we’re back
together again.
How is
school going? You’re almost done with kindergarten and will soon be a first
grader! What interesting books have you read? What are you learning about in
math (I was so impressed that you could add 52 and 5 to get 57 when we were
last together! I couldn’t do that in kindergarten!). Are you still studying
oceans or have you moved on to a different topic in science?
I don’t
remember too much about was taught when I was in kindergarten, but I do
remember playing a lot. We also got to do a lot of arts and crafts stuff (like
painting) that I didn’t have the materials for at home, so that was a lot of
fun. I recall that for “aprons” to keep the thick paints from getting on our
clothes, we wore our dad’s used shirt backwards so that the button side was on
our back. It worked! Most of my friends and I had paint all over our dads’
shirts – but not on our good school clothes!
Have
you read any good books lately? I have. It was called “Who Was King Tut?” by
Roberta Edwards. The book is the nonfiction (or about real people and events)
story of the famous Egyptian pharaoh King Tut. He also is known as the “boy
king” because he ruled all of Egypt even though he was a boy. The book told
about the mummy’s curse – it was said that bad things would anyone to who
disturbed King Tut’s tomb (where he was buried). So did bad things happen to
the scientists who found King Tut’s tomb? You will have to read the book and
find out! You probably can find the book at your city library or a bookstore –
be sure to look for it when your grandmother or mom take you there!
Well,
that is all for this letter. I shall see you in just six days – on May 24. I
love and miss you very much!
Love,
Dad
