Happy Monday Parents and Carers!

The past two weeks has been Christmas, Christmas, Christmas at Oakwood Academy, and we have continued the trend to begin our week.

Here is Evan starting his day off after assembly with his sensory diet.

Eric, meanwhile, enjoyed a fine motor/hands-eye math game with Mr. Jacob. Eric did a great job adding up the scores with minimal support!

We have also been focusing on time and time management in math. Here is Eric going over our daily timetable and showing us the proper times on a clock.

Evan was our teacher today and led us through our morning routines. Here he is going over our calendar, where we discussed past, present, and future time.

We then used colours to represent our feelings and use our oral communication skills and descriptive words to share emotions.
"Green means I am just right, and I am feeling great today because I think Avery will be back this week."
"Green means I am happy! It reminds me of Christmas trees!"

After a early snack and recess, the boys presented their two songs with accompanying dance moves to their peers. They did a great job and could be dancers for the Mickey Mouse Club!


After all of that hard work and waiting in rehearsal, the boys went over ornament decorating and Santa Math with their friends in Ms. Jessica and Ms. Andrea's classes.

Then, we all got the call for the Grand Finale! 

Partner Play with our friends was a lot of fun! We worked on turn taking, being creative, two-way communication, engagement levels, and working with others.


Minute to Win It! 



In social skills today we created our own Christmas stockings to decorate the stage for the concert. This activity used our fine motor skills, math-patterning and colours skills, concentration, and bilateral movements, as well as creative expression.

During our sensory gym session the boys continued to work on their motor planning skills, fine and gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, teamwork, sportsmanship, turn taking, addition and subtraction skills, and phonics and rhyming skills. 

At the end of the day the boys had a fun music therapy session with Ms. Christina!

Have a restful evening and see you tomorrow!

Mr. Jacob : )
