DEAR SANTA

the children were motivated to practice their literacy when it came to write to santa this year.
here are their letters.

Dear Santa,
I have been good.
I would like a computer game, a robot, and simple machines.
Love,
R

Dear santa,
I want a puzzle, a truck, a camera, and a phone.
I love r.
Hugs,
K

Both state that they have been good. both state that their desired objects.
Those of you out there in the world who would like to support santa or provide dream presents, here is your opportunity.
R: the computer game that r is referring to is headsprout (we are contemplating getting it. our hesitation is that it is on-line and we have to pay again for k to use it.) And I have no idea what he means by robots.
K: i got her a used sesame street puzzle this morning. i have no idea what she means by a truck. and she has already received an old cell phone for play. (i think she can use ro's camera!)

for those interested in other items. here is a list of suggestions

Uno (r and k)
qwirkle (r and k)
stepper (r and k)
animalogic (r and k)
analogy book (r)
mousetrap the game (r)
bead kit (k)
tea set (k)

scooter (r and k)

other things that look cool but i have no idea if they are junk or if we really "need" them
night goggles
more marble parts from haba
intro to engineering (r)
GEARS GEARS GEARS
the kids really do not "need" anything. but perhaps this is helpful.
