This week turned out to be a rather interesting and exciting week as it progressed.
We started the week with a dear friend coming over Tuesday afternoon to celebrate (very belatedly) Monkey's 12th birthday which was back in July. Sadly, he had no party due to the COVID Delta Strain lockdown that we were under at the time. So now that we are allowed to have visitors in our home again, our friend brought delicious food, and wonderful gifts for our son. She blessed him with a variety of art supplies and he was a very happy boy...
He got right to work experimenting and by the end of the week he had his finished completed drawing/painting. He used pencil and ultra fine tip pen to draw the picture and then used the new watercolour paints and nifty brushes to do the painting. The brushes can me filled with water so he doesn't have to continue dipping in a cup of water.
Munchkin working hard on his Malaysia notebooking page... I read aloud the junior non-fiction book on the country (see in book photos below) and then Monkey and Munchkin fill in the notebooking page with the information they learned from the book.
Finally we ended the week with Monster breaking two of his toes. If you can't find the breaks on your own, look for the black arrows I drew pointing to the breaks on his big toe and 2nd toe. He is now the proud owner of a calf length moon boot and his younger brothers are learning a valuable lesson about serving their brother as they fetch things for him.
Munchkin is enjoying the Beast Quest series and the Mighty Robot series.....
Both Monkey and Munchkin are working their way through the complete How to Train Your Dragon series...
Two read alouds we finished this week...
Independent reading for Munchkin...
Junior non-fiction read alouds... both of these series are excellent.
More independent reading for Munchkin...
And a final read aloud selection for the week to finish off a landscapes of Australia mini unit study.
