This is a favourite. Pegasus assures me he understood everything. He ended up watching it alone, as I had a business meeting during his movie timeslot, which worked out very well for everyone. It was a very short week, due to Thanksgiving on Monday and Can*Con 2023 on Friday.
Dance
I haven’t been doing much formally for this one. I’ll put music on and he’ll dance to it unprompted. (repeated from last week)
Music
He has been diligent about practising his scales and doing the exercise from the book. He also says out loud what the scale letters are as he plays them. He has been actively remembering to keep his elbows tucked and his hand positioning is much improved.
Crochet
I helped him do several blocks of stitches… probably about 6 inches.
Basic Information
We alternated between listening to videos for the days of the week and months of the year (M, W, F), and attempting to put them in order with the pieces of paper (days on Tuesday, months on Thursday). He sang along unprompted. The days of the week song that we’ve been listening to has BEEN REMOVED and I don’t know who made it so we can’t look it up with the wayback machine! Pegasus is very upset about this (as am I). I’ve reached out to Dragon’s Kindergarten teacher in hopes that she has the link, but I haven’t heard back yet. (No news.)
Printing words
He has been improving slowly. I like that I don’t have to fight him to get him to do it. He is very pleased with himself for completing them, and usually writes more words than I ask him to do (I split them up over a couple days because he was overwhelmed that first week). I feel like his printing has improved DRASTICALLY since the first week.
Counting objects/math-type activities
He did much better counting on his own this week. He requested help with a few of the numbers.
Storytime
We continued reading the little French books from last week (from the library). I am getting him to read the small words that he knows, like ‘le’ and ‘la’, and I’m trying to get him to read the bigger words that show up multiple times in the same book.
Activity
Plot and write a short Halloween script – we made a list of ideas, Pegasus just rolling with it. I barely had to guide him. I did help him break it down into scenes.
Finish script and make background props – Pegasus decided what he wanted each scene to say in dialogue. He has decided to record his voice. I helped him translate. We decided what props he would need, and realized that he didn’t need to make any. (All my writing)
