Month: November 2018

Ciara,

Hi! How are you? Are you having fun lately? What have you been doing? Going shopping at the stores? Do you grocery shop, or visit the department stores? All the Christmas decorations will be out on display.

So, are you in grade 2? (I could be wrong). I think when I was in grade 2, it was the first time a computer was in our classroom. Over 30 years ago, computers were expensive and not all schools had them. So, what subjects in school do you like? Do you have a pencil case at school, with pencils, markers and colour pencils? I think I didn’t start using a pen I was in Nolan’s grade. Have you started to write letters from the alphabet out now? Or still printing them out?

If you are in grade 2, I think that was the best year to learn new things. Like I think I had flashcards and learnt how to multiply, could find any word in the dictionary since I could spell it out, and read an actual small novel book from the library.

Do you have a library in your school? Once a week, our class would go to the library, and take out a book. Sometimes near Christmas, the school had a new book sale, and Meme would buy me some books. Well, I hope you are doing great, and have a lovely day.

Love Dad, X0X0

Nolan,

Hi Nolan. It has been over a month, since I have written to you. Most of the times each day when I go on the computer, I tell myself I should write you and Ciara a letter. I guess, I get discourage because I probably want to do a long letter, but I guess even a paragraph is important enough. Like I said before, I am sorry if you look sometimes and there is not a new letter. I have to write down a list of topics so when I want to write you a letter, I can easily write about that topic.

So, I bet you can’t wait till tomorrow. It’s your big day. I hope you a happy birthday. The big 11 years old. I believe you are in grade 5, but I could be wrong. Are you having a birthday party or perhaps you had it already this weekend? Or maybe this weekend coming up? As a 11 year old boy, what do you like to do other than school work? Do you have any interests? When I was 11 years old, I begun to like to draw maps. I would find a country on the globe, and then make a big picture of that country. (Without tracing). Do you know how many countries there are in the world? Every country usually has a flag to their country. Do you know all the provinces in Canada? Are you learning about the capital cities? In grade 5, I think I recognized that what subjects of school I liked or disliked? Each day, I really liked gym, geography, math, French, but never did like art class or even science for some reason. We all have are preferences I guess. I forgot about English class, that was fun as you would read a book or have a spelling quiz.

What is your favourite subjects in school? Just keep doing well in school and do your homework each night. I hope you have a nice teacher.

Have a happy birthday my son, and I hope you have a fantastic day.

Love Dad, X0X0
