Happy Holidays Parents and Carers!

Sorry I did not post yesterday after school. Here is our last day of school in 2015, and it was a great way to end the year!


The boys came in with a lot of energy and excitement for the holidays. We started off the day by playing a Shapes-Pattern-Hang-Man type game.

Our dear friend Jordan in Ms. Andrea's class made Christmas cards for the entire school! We have been so busy these past few weeks our class did not make any cards for friends! So, we got right down to work, like Santa's elves, and began making cards.

Jordan was 'over-the-moon' happy and excited that he received cards from some of his best buds at school!

Looking speechless haha.

After card making and decorating the boys were antsy and needed to move. Here we are participating in some bean bag crashes.

The boys had a break through Art session with their friends in St. Judes. It was the first session where they branched away from one another and socialized solely on their own with new and old friends! They had so much fun colouring Christmas photos and sharing laughs.

Santa Claus came to visit us in our classroom! It appears that Santa is on the Atkins diet and looking rather slim and trim! Hahaha

Partner Play time: two way communication, oral communication skills, turn taking, money skills, creativity, role play, life skills, social problem solving, and teamwork.

Immediately after lunch the boys joined the St. Judes' Grade 1/2 P.E. class for some fun games. They all did well demonstrating gross motor skills, balance and coordination, proprioception and bilateral movements, teamwork, auditory processing skills, and sportsmanship.

In the sensory gym we worked on our hand-eye coordination, teamwork, sportsmanship, fine and gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, math and rhyming skills, and balance and coordination.

Ms. Ella's class put on a Christmas Puppet Show for the primary classes at the end of the day. What a great performance with their own dialogue, jokes, and acting skills!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Have a wonderful holiday, be safe, have fun, and I shall see you in the New Year!

PS. Thank you for the lovely cards and gifts!
