It was yet another busy but productive day in Mr. Jacob' class! The focus today was "How is your engine running?" and "First place isn't everything". These two important topics were at the root of every lesson. The boys got their very own race car engines to illustrate how they are doing and feeling throughout the day.
After going over our feelings and how we are doing today, the boys got active with some numeracy dancing and jump spelling!
Next, we participated in rotating Halloween math centres along with Ms. Hope and Ms. Andrea's class. We measured Frankenstein, the Wicked Witch, and an eerie black cat. There was also Smarties addition, subtraction, and multiplication, as well as Pumpkin Popsicle sticks addition, subtraction, and multiplication. It was a lot of fun!
During Language Arts we went over spelling, grammar, and proper sentences while looking at different Halloween riddles that the boys had to figure out!
Gym class was a fun obstacle course with our friends in Ms. Jessica, Ms. Hope, and Ms. Andrea' class! We worked on gross motor skills, bilateral movement, proprioception, balance and coordination, and of course, sportsmanship and teamwork!
After lunch the boys completed two Minute to Win It challenges where they used their fine motor skills, sorting skills, and hand-eye coordination. It was a close finish and they all did very well.
During Social Skills the boys went over the steps and procedures on how to board a plane, fly a plane, land a plane, and travel on a plane. We then got to watch a Halloween puppet play put on by Ms. Ella's class.
The sensory gym was another exciting and necessary time involving teamwork, creativity, sequencing, fine and gross motor skills, proprioception, bilateral movement, balance and coordination, and endurance using the entire body. After a great discussion on "First place isn't everything", the boys ended the day with relaxing music while painting styrofoam pumpkins!
Do not forget your costumes tomorrow and have a great night!
Mr. Jacob
