Ivan’s Star of the Week project
Ivan made a poster of fun facts about himself and it was displayed in his classroom for the week.
He included his family and his pets. He listed his current favorite book Hamstersaurus Rex and the fact that he likes basil ice cream.
Two different interpretations
This is the face of “May I please get an ice cream cone?”
They both got ice cream.
“Let’s do an ACTION POSE!”
They raided the costume box and ran through the house with walkie talkies on secret missions.
Pikachu
Ivan, it’s too cold to wear your porg t-shirt. You need long sleeves.
He fixed the problem by wearing an undershirt.
Ivan’s Christmas
Christmas Eve bedtime stories by the tree
Present opening. I let Ezri wake Ivan up at 9:05, she’d been up since 7 and her patience for the time of gifting was waning. She whispered, “Ivan, it’s Christmas.” He made a grumbly sound and said, “I know, Ezri.”
Santa left this porg. It is guarding a Hatchimal egg gifted by the parents.
New binoculars backwards. Mostly used so far for spying and hunting wild Pokemon in our yard.
New book from Manchi – Catstronauts Comics!
New Hogwarts house hats made by Amanda. Ezri is Hufflepuff and proud. Ivan is split Slytherin and Gryffindor.
A present Ivan made at school and wrapped for his parents. It was a block ornament decoupaged with wrapping paper and a photo of him in a Santa hat. I should’ve taken a photo of it too. But, his wrapping here was super cute.
“Do you know why I named him Cuddly?” “Because he’s cuddly.” “How did you know?” Meet cuddly the red panda.
Pancake reindeer with bacon antlers.
Chess on the *new* chess board.
Cats by the tree and Goldie the unicorn.
Outside in the snow – brrrrr.
Yeti on my head, yeti on my PJs, yeti in spaghetti
The game yeti in spaghetti is pretty fun. You try to remove spaghetti without letting the yeti drop down in the bowl. The person who drops the yeti loses. We’ve been on a yeti kick around Blau house. That plush one was $3 at Target. He’s been to school. Ivan’s read aloud to him an assortment of yeti picture books. He’s also good luck while playing yeti in spaghetti.
Belt Promotion
Ivan has rarely asked me to take his photo. After receiving his first Little Dragon belt, he really wanted a photo in the karate studio to show to people.
Here it is. Old white belt draped over shoulder. New white belt with orange stripe around his waist.
Ivan has started Little Dragon Karate classes
