Week 2, Block 1, Boronia Term

All in all, pretty good. Much reading and singing (not usually on the mat, but on the couch because Bilby has been awake). Having the books is so much better! He’s also done some watercolours, and much drawing. The latter wasn’t planned particularly, but he saw Drawing with Children by Mona Brooks and took it away “so I can learn to draw”. (He did a great “racoon and caterpillar with a shell”—which was an even better cocoon:-) )

I’m pretty pleased that we do the ‘formal’ part easily in 15 minutes, three days a week. He doesn’t always use the other activities I have set out for him (although, he’s been getting to at least one of them), but the idea is that they are there when he feels the pull.
