Hi Kieran,
How are you doing today? I’m doing fine, but I miss you very
much! I wish we could spend the day together. Unfortunately, I did not receive
the response to my email, though. Please have your mother resend it, along with
your emails from the previous six weeks that have yet to arrive. I also would
like to see your report card, so please make sure that comes with your email.
If your mother is unable to send emails, perhaps she could simply snail mail
your responses to me. I look forward to reading them!
What are you learning about in school? The last you told me,
you were studying letters and the sounds they made; I think you were up to the
letter “L”. I bet by now you are up to the letter “S” or “T”. You are in a very
smart class – when I went to school, we didn’t learn letters and their sounds
until first grade!
What kind of math stuff are you learning? In kindergarten,
we learned how to count to 10 and about shapes. But I taught you to count and
about shapes long ago, so I bet you must be learning something different now –
either that or you must be finding you math class very easy!
You also said you were studying the solar system. Did you
know that in just a few weeks something from the far reaches of our solar
system will light up our skies? In mid-March, we should be able to see a comet
at sunset. On March 12, look to the west where the moon will be. Then look to
the left of the moon. The comet will look like a streak of white cloud.
Hopefully March 12 won’t be cloudy!
Have you read any good books lately? I finished editing the
book in which the mean captain stole his old submarine in San Diego so that no
one else could go on it. But another guy sneaked on board the submarine and
stopped him! The submarine was returned where it belonged.
Another good book I have read is “The Biggest Valentine Ever,”
by Steven Kroll. It’s about two mice, named Clayton and Desmond, who decide to
make a valentine for their teacher. But they start arguing about how to make
the valentine! Will they ever be able to get along so they can finish the
valentine? You will have to read the book and find out. I bet either your
school or city library has the book.
I have purchased some card games, like Old Maid and Go Fish,
that you asked if we could play the last time we are together. We next get time
we get together, on March 1, I will bring them. I’ll also bring the fun sticker
board game we had with the rooms and family. I also have that replacement
birthday present for you!
That is all for now. I love and miss you very much! Happy
birthday on Feb. 23!
Love,
Dad
