Covid-19 HBL with M&M Day 4-5

OK, I am more than slightly pissed with this e-learning thing for Morg. I keep tablets and computers away from him because he gets so addicted and becomes "wanna die" when the devices are taken away. Now with HBL, I have to offer him a laptop...

Anyway, he enjoys ABCya and asks for the computer all day long, to an extremely irritated me.  He can add his number bonds mentally but with this ABCya, he goes back to counting his toys... On the positive side, boy suddenly knows how to read the time as he monitors the clock untill its his "COMPUTER TIME!"...

Read Boats and Morg's fav is the sampan that carries food. Says he will row his drumstick to Bishan AMK park to sell.

Megan teaches didi how to make simple boat origami. Good job both.

Daddy knows how to make a sampan version! 7min video is too long to upload. Request if you want the full version. We set sail the boats in the pond.

Tried unsuccessfully for the 3rd time to read this Peter Pan pop up book I bought for $9.90 years ago. The writing is terrible yes but M and M are totally unappreciative of the excellent pop up artworks.

Read an excellent Book of Trees. Since Morgan isn't interested, I had to draw out all the different shapes of trees and make an activity out of it. A forest theme pop up card anyone?

Morgan just wants his hexagonal shapes and totally ignore all my examples. He selects his colors, draws the shapes and cuts them himself. Totally zero patience when it comes to gluing them to his card, leaves to cry somewhere and comes back to paste one dot on each tree, a car, kangaroo, bird and Koala... Sign off his big name and leaves again.

Love Megan's card. Falling autumn leaves are so cool. And she explores a fence as an additional pop up, hence really learning one pop up technique.

Engage Morg to draw a tree house high up the coconut trees with a long long ladder to reach it... Using brushes is certainly not Mr Morg's forte.

Dig Katamino out from somewhere. As proof that our brains have gone rusty, Meg and me struggle through the levels and have a hard time getting pass level 10.

Exercise time! M and M and M practice climbing today. I attain 30cm above ground - an excellent achievement!!! Hurray... Morgan needs to learn more from his older sister but very good effort.

And the winner is....
