Henry Helps Sofia.

Sofia posted a list of topics that she will be studying this summer. I thought maybe we could save her and her mom a little trouble, and Henry could just answer the questions for her. Here are Sofia's original questions and Henry's answers (in green).

Great answers except that the word "like" is already creeping into his regular usage--"like" three times that I saw. I know, this is just a grumpy grandpa comment, but maybe mom and dad can help watch for that and stamp it out.

Your well-meaning friend, girrhop

Thank you for answering the questions. One correction from Sofia "bees do not carry pollen on their feet, they carry it on the basket on their legs". She's been reading up.

I'm with Professor Decker - stop the "likes" now or by middle school it will like be ever present.
