Pegasus didn’t remember the movie from before, and he really enjoyed it. He re-enacted large chunks of the movie with his toys later on in the week.
Dance
As per usual, I didn’t do anything specific for this.
Music
His scales are coming along nicely and he willingly practises both his scales and the pieces in the book.
Crochet
We haven’t started this yet.
Basic Information
We kept up with these throughout the break, so he was still able to repeat these quite well. We are working on the day before and the day after any given day. The months of the year is going well. All months have proper pronounciation now, and we’re working on the month before and after any given month. That’s coming slowly.
We practised the seasons, but he still needs help remembering them in French.
Printing words
These worksheets have 2 more words than last semester’s, so I didn’t print the tracing sheet. He appreciated that because he prefers the activities, and many of those have printing involved anyway.
Counting objects/math-type activities
He still has no problems with counting these, and I feel like his numbers have improved. I did not print the tracing sheet, and he had no problems.
Then there was the new math worksheets. He REALLY likes these and had a lot of fun with the more challenging one. I showed him how to count higher than his fingers by drawing lines and he was very enthusiastic.
Storytime
We read the 4 French library books throughout the week.
Activity
Zhezhi – after much deliberation, Pegasus decided to make a frog. We used this set of instructions. I highly recommend origami paper over construction paper, but it will do in a pinch. He needed a bit of help, but only with the tinier folds.
Make noodle soup – the recipe from the lesson plan was used for the soup, with some substitutions. We had some leftover turkey soup broth from the last time we made turkey soup (note that the “we” used here is Éric). Pegasus decided on which flavours to use for the chicken and broth. It was deemed yummy by both kids.
Shrinky dinks – This was a huge hit. He was excited to make them beforehand, and even though his hand hurt from colouring, he wanted to keep working on them. I convinced him that this could take more than one day. Note to people trying this: use paperclips on all four directions or binder clips. It shifts REALLY easily. ALSO note: make sure you’re drawing on the rougher side of the plastic, not the shiny side!! I definitely panicked when it was in the oven; it takes a little longer than it says, and it also folds up quite drastically and then bubbles dramatically before settling.
