We were supposed to learn about the United States while Abi is away there for a fortnight but last week both Umayr and I were down with fever for almost the whole week. Last night, we got our first lesson, well I got mine, when Ummi played the 'Alphabet States' with me.
Both of us had a map of the United States. One of us would say a letter and try to name as many states starting with that letter as we can. I had fun but I wonder why Alaska is so far away from the rest of the states and why they made a new Mexico when there's one nearby.
Today, Ummi printed out dollar notes for us with a picture of George Washington on the front. She tried to teach me about pennies, nickels and dimes but I only got the quarters. Anyway, Umayr and I played buying and selling with our foreign currency.
Ummi played another game on the 50 states with me today.The challenge was to name as many states as we can with the help of the map we had last night. Ummi only got 3. I obviously won but 50's a lot of names. I got tired and maybe I'll continue naming the states on the blank map tomorrow.
I tried to read my dictionary after lights out tonight, but Ummi found me out. I wonder what the fuss is about spoiling my eyesight. Now, I don't even know where I stopped....Oh well...
Today, Abi flew to Washington from San Diego. He said it's nicer there with mountains and lots of greeneries. I wish I could be with him....but he'll be back soon. I can't wait to play with my Thomas train set.
