This is such a cozy movie. I had planned on writing during it, but the music and animation drew me right in (even though I’ve seen it before many times). Pegasus loved it. He says “I loved everything about this movie and want to see it again.”
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. He’s only 20 pages away from finishing the first book.
Basic Information
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
We’re working on spacing and keeping the words on the bottom line. He really doesn’t care about spacing.
Counting objects/math-type activities
He pretended he didn’t know what his numbers were. He would count in French, and then say “What number is that?” It was incredibly frustrating.
Math worksheets. He did them both on Monday morning because he was so excited to do them once again. He didn’t need my help at all, and when I pointed out that 6+6 wasn’t 11, he knew instantly that it was 12. Hence my frustration with the counting above.
Storytime
We have no French library books this week, so he read some French books through Boukili.
Activity
Make a fairy door – He was very enthusiastic about both making and painting his fairy door. He pointed out that the paint changed colours when they touched and was excited to see what each new colour would be.
Make tiny furniture – I asked him which piece of furniture he wanted to build, and he decided on the bed, just like his sister. I had hoped that we could also make a miniature bookcase with some books, but I lost steam this week and we ended up not building that. He sewed most of the pillow himself (I did the hidden stitches after stuffing it.)
Make a hair clip – He chose this soft green fabric (which I had used to make my Vanelloppe cosplay in 2013). We didn’t glue it like the instructions said, but sewed it instead. I made the setting stiches, and he added more to secure it, and tied off the thread. He was very proud of himself.
