Home teaching - Gabrilla's song

Png Png started keyboard lesson not long ago.   I wanted to teach him musical notes, symbols, beats.....   So, I chose the lapbook Gabriella's song as the literature for our lapbook for this month.

Our lapbook cover.   Initially Png Png drew a fat girl.   He said Gabriella is very fat, weighs 100kg.   I was very furious.   I scolded him and tore the paper and threw it into the bin as he wasn't serious and laughing away when he was drawing Gabriella.   I felt bad after I steamed off.   In this cover, he drew a bakery shop with a few levels selling different types of bakery.
