We drove to Salem and here is what we did: We stayed in an Airbnb that was close to town so we could walk there. It was October and lots of people come for Halloween festivals in Salem. We saw creepy guys walking down the streets dressed like scary characters from movies and shows and
We went to Skytop Lodge in the Poconos. We stayed in a cottage on the property and did lots of activities. It was wintertime. One activity was snow tubing. We went ice-skating, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and explored the lodge. The lodge was built in 1928 and we saw lots of old-time pictures from families that
I dissected a frog. Not a real one. It was cool. Now I know what a frog looks like on the inside. I had to use special tools to peel back the skin. The skin was like slime. I could see the skeleton, heart, intestines, skull, brain, stomach, and eyes. Maybe sometime i will check
We went to universal studios in Florida for a week. It was my first time on an airplane. The plane ride was cool but very bumpy on the way there. I didn’t get scared. I flew from Philadelphia to Florida and we got to see all the states in between from the sky. It only
We went to Snipes Farm for a special Earth day event. We saw a bunch of animals and helped build a new bunny enclosure. We took a tour of the farm and learned what they grow there and how they keep the deer out. I got to feed goats but they weren’t hungry though. I
I learned how to skateboard. I joined a skate club that meets after school on Tuesdays and Saturday mornings. It was at Middletown Community Park’s Skate Park. We meet with our instructor Andrew and he teaches us different tricks. He taught me how to go down big ramps. I am working on learning to ollie
We moved to a new apartment building and my mom and I created a fire safety plan for our family. I would feel if my door is hot to feel if there is a fire outside in the hallway. If it’s really bad and the door is hot I would open my window and call
My mom and I built a website together. She does this for her work but she showed me how to do some things. My idea was to make a site that had a dinosaur coloring page for all the letters of the alphabet. She paid an artist to draw the pictures. I picked which dinosaur
I made this video about my hermit crabs. I got them during covid to keep me busy and because I want to learn about how to take care of a pet. They need lots of things like salt water and fresh water and I have to change the cage bedding and sand. I like to
My mom got us season passes at bear creek mountain. I have skied for a few years now and this year I finally got to do it without the leash and can turn and stop on my own. I snowboarded too. I love bear creek it is so much fun.
I heard my grandpop talking about how Roblox was having its IPO. I didn’t know what that was so I asked him and he said I could buy shares of the company. I didn’t know what that was either but I said I wanted to do it. So my mom got me some on Robinhood
I finally learned how to ride a bike this year. We went to the park and I practiced on my new bike. I’m starting to get it but I need more practice. Mom told me why I have to wear a helmet all the time whenever I ride just like I do on my skateboard.
I always wanted to start a Youtube channel. My mom let me have one and I have been working on learning how to edit videos and add captions and titles to them. I made a few videos. I wish I could make it public so I could get more followers but mom says no. I
I started taking guitar lessons last year. I had to stop for covid but I still have been practicing it and I think I want to start taking lessons again next year. My mom plays guitar too. I like to make up songs.
I like to do art lessons on Youtube. Some of my favorites are Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems. The Kennedy Center made them during covid. Also Art Hub for Kids. Some of my drawings are uploaded below. I also sent some pictures I drew to Ranger Rick magazine. They didn’t publish them yet but I
We went to Cape May Point State Park for a homeschool program. It was about birds and butterflies. We talked about migration which is when the birds fly together to go somewhere else for different seasons. They migrate for food and also for warmer weather. We got binoculars and spent some time watching birds. They
We school year-round and have experienced over 180 days of learning this year.
