This week was disrupted greatly, due to illness in the household needing a hospital visit (thank goodness for CHEO). However, Pegasus greatly enjoyed watching Coco, although the bonus features got a little long for him (I don’t blame him).
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 not crochet this week, as I needed to be upstairs to be near Dragon.
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 less prompting.
Printing words
He enjoys doing this activity and completed it on the second day this week. g and e are still a struggle.
Counting objects/math-type activities
He did well on his counting. He did not need me to write the numbers for him to copy.
Storytime
We got reread the little French books from the library. I am getting him to read the small words that he knows, like ‘le’ and ‘la’, ‘un’ and ‘une’, and I’ve started him on the bigger words that show up in multiple books, like ‘voici’, ‘regarde’, ‘dit’, and ‘ballon’.
Activity
Remember the dead: go through old photo albums and hear stories about your ancestors. We had my mom bring over photo albums and tell stories about Pegasus’s great-grandparents and greatx2-grandparents, and some greatx2-aunts and -uncles as well. It was fun to hear about them. Pegasus did a great job remembering and linking stories about the different people, which I found impressive.
** Note the picture on thick cardboard – it was taken in early 1800s!! (my mother’s grandmother’s grandmother when she was 19! – who is just barely on the family tree in the bottom corner)
Bake traditional food – we made conchas again because they were so delicious last time. Pegasus requested yellow icing.
Learn about Dia de Los Muertos (+ watch Elena of Avalor special episode) – this one we only watched the episode. No pictures.
