Good evening Parents and Carers!

It was so nice seeing those of you that could come on by to the Science Fair! Our exhibit was a little chaotic and loud, but that only means that it was fun and exciting! : )

We had such a great, lively day full of awesome work. Both boys worked extremely well together and also did great with their 1:1 work.

Evan, as usual, wanted to check out our daily schedule and how the time management looked like for the day.

Here are the boys checking out our science display before the mayhem ensued! 

Here is our friend Evan hard at work completing his morning Sensory Circuit and working on vestibular movement, bilateral movement, gross motor skills, and proprioception skills.

Eric and I played a fun Math game that got us using our hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and number sense & numeracy skills. Eric scored 95 points while I got a measly 46!

The boys went over the calendar, the concept of time, and the weather together after their 1:1 activities.

We then got together with our fellow scientists in Ms. Jessica and Ms. Andrea's class. The boys did a great job explaining what we did to the judge.

After our science demonstration the boys participated in a team building Magic Squares session.

Next, they joined their St. Judes friends for a Grade 2 Art lesson with Ms. Kerr.

After art, the boys wanted to have a Share & Tell session as one of our friends will not be here tomorrow. Here are the boys showing off one of their favourite stuffed animals, and explaining why they brought them in. They used great oral communication skills, two-way conversation skills, answered why questions, and also had lots of descriptive words!

Playing basketball and Pac Man tag at recess.

While Evan completed his Sensory Diet, Eric and I looked at time and phonics. Eric did so good during our phonics game and once again, he won!

In the afternoon the boys joined St. Judes' Grade 1 class for gym. They did tremendous helping their team in soccer and had loads of fun.

Minute to Win It- fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, bilateral movement, math sills, sportsmanship.

In the Sensory Gym the boys had lots of fun working on their rhyming skills, math skills, fine and gross motor skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, hand-eye coordination, and proprioception skills.

At teh very end of the day the boys showed their parents and family members what we did for the Science Fair. It was great seeing everyone have so much fun!

Happy American Thanksgiving to Evan, and we will see you tomorrow!

Mr. Jacob : )
