Dear Kids Who Are Home All Day,
My name is Rena Schor. I am 8 years old, and I am in third grade. I am homeschooled always, not only during the coronavirus!
I love playing with paper dolls! My grandmother, who runs the WWW with a few other ladies, once tried to make a paper doll business. She gave me lots of samples. We got more by printing out extras from the computer. Soon we had about 60! I printed them out and colored them in. They’re in a box in my room. Sometimes I take them out and play with them. You can make your own and make clothes and everything!
I go on Google Maps on the computer, a lot. I try to find my house. And then, from my house, I try to find both my grandparents’ houses and sometimes my cousins’ houses. I have my own account on the computer, but I must have permission from my parents before I go on it. Sometimes they don’t let, but only sometimes. I LOVE GOOGLE MAPS!
Sometimes I watch the video show ThingamaBob, but my parents really don’t let very often. If I go on the computer to watch videos without permission, they will take my account away. Your parents might let because you don’t have school right now. Here are a few good ones: Peep in the Big Wide World on YouTube, Masha and the Baer on Netflix, Lalaloopsy on Netflix, and The Cat in the Hat on Netflix. Here are some learning videos that I don’t like but my parents think I like (shhhh it’s a secret!): Brain Child on Netflix, The Who Was Show on Netflix, and If I Were an Animal on Netflix.
There is this really cool thingamajig; it’s called Mystery Doug. My mother signed up, and she gets an email once a week, every Sunday. It is a video-type of thing, about five minutes long. It answers a question from a kid. The questions are about science, like why is the sky blue, what is the biggest animal in the planet, or how do germs get inside your body. (That was last week’s question.) If you would like to try this you can go to mysterydoug.com.
Here are some things that I like to do by myself when I can’t play with friends: color with chalk outside (because my parents don’t let me color with chalk inside), play with slime, paint, and color. Here are some things you could draw and color or paint: a swing set with flowers, cars, a witch. Those are all my ideas for now. Toodle-loo!
Every year for Purim, my friends and I make a Purim play. You could do that, too, but with your family! But not for Purim because that’s already passed, but maybe for Pesach! Toodle-loo again!
This is my very first article that I ever wrote. Toodle-loo double again!
