This movie was a huge hit. Pegasus didn’t remember watching it in English, but he still seemed to understand what was going on, so I’m happy. There was one point in the movie when you think one of the kids is going to die, and he was VERY concerned, but a quick reassurance from me and he was fine.
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.
Crochet
We did quite a few stitches. There’s only one row left, and Pegasus is excited to be done and be able to wear it.
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. He’s still having trouble with the names and the order when the songs aren’t playing, but he’s needing much less prompting.
Printing words
He enjoys doing this activity and completed it on the second day this week. He didn’t need to write the g or e above the words, and he decided to make his a’s look like the font, which I think is adorable.
Counting objects/math-type activities
He did well on his counting. He did not need me to write the numbers for him to copy, but did ask for me to trace them in the air.
Storytime
We have new French books this week. We did not read them.
Activity
Make pork buns – his progress in the kitchen has improved drastically. He did most of this himself (minus the BBQing, obviously). He was happy with the taste, I don’t know why he’s making that face!
Make paper flowers – this was a tough one for him. He got very agitated when he felt like he couldn’t be gentle enough to separate the flower petals, but when I suggested putting it aside, he calmed down enough to complete the activity.
Learn about endangered species – no pictures. He enjoyed theorizing about what would happen if certain species went extinct and how it would affect others. We also talked about what species are endagered and why.
