Quarantine

hi my name is emmett i am writing hippo’s great invention.

i am making the worst wrinkly bagels

this is where i taught mom to jump

i am not having fun on my quarantine

i am not having fun with webbs. Ut oh. Mom’s taking over now. Up until now I was selecting the photos and sounding out the things I wanted to say. She seemed pretty pleased until now. Sheesh. She said something about being too negative.

Other things I did during the time my kindergarten class was in quarantine:

I got to stay up late and look at the Harvest Moon with my new telescope. Thanks, Nana.

I also made lots of sidewalk art…

and watched Bob Ross, then tried to make my own happy trees.

I also made biscotti – it needs to be 12 inches long, so I busted out the tape measure to check.

Can you stop taking my picture?

No, OK.

I also, after many failed attempts, got a sourdough starter going and made some delicious bread.

And learned to tie my shoes.

The Bigs figured we should go backpacking since we were supposed to stay away from people, so we hit the trails.

We stayed near S. Matthieu lake

and had views of North Sister (Faith) Mountain. We tried and tried to get good pictures of her.

Quarantine’s not that bad…

You certainly made the most of your quarantine all the baking (biscottis bagels sourdough bread), art and literary work, hiking and space exploration with that really cool telescope from Nana.

I’m sorry you had to quarantine but it seems like you made the best of it.
Beautiful mountain pictures and that’s so great you are learning to tie your shoes. Especially since yours are always Velcro. 😂what a great gift from Nana that’s sure to help keep away the quarantine boredom. One more day and back to school. Yay!!

When will you publish Hippo’s Great Invention? You certainly had what I consider a pretty cool and productive quarantine…way to go!!
Also the sidewalk art is so nice!
I hope you’ll have a good day back at school tomorrow.
