Good evening Parents and Carers!

Today was Mr. Eric Day! Unfortunately our two other friends were not at school, due to a family trip and an illness.


We started off the morning by playing a fun math and auditory processing game with our friend Mr. William in Ms. Andrea's class!

Here is Eric trying to remember the exact colours and shapes William instructed to put bean bags on.

William is waiting patiently to see if he got all of the bean bags in their correct locations.

After our game with William, Eric went over our calendar, weather, time, daily schedule, and feeling faces with Mr. Jared and I.

Professor Eric William Chen!

Feeling Faces

In art class today, Eric and Mr. Jared made Santa Claus hats for our Christmas concert. Eric displayed some impressive fine motor skills, concentration, bilateral movement, and creativity!

Here is Eric belting out "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" for our upcoming afternoon rehearsal.

Eric and Mr. Jared are recording the lyrics to our song that we made up, "Watch Me Santa/ Watch Me Sleigh, Sleigh"

Working on our dance moves for "Watch Me Santa/ Watch Me Sleigh, Sleigh. Eric demonstrated great gross motor skills, bilateral movements, proprioception skills, and concentration.

During gym class we made an obstacle course with our friends in Ms. Andrea's class. We worked on hockey and basketball skills, fine and gross motor skills, motor planning, proprioception and vestibular movements, bilateral movements, and turn taking.

In MInute to Win It today Eric set two new records by completing "Play-Doh Find/ Threading", and "Christmas Tree Fine Motor Work" in under one minute each! He was so pumped and proud!

Eric was very creative with his motor planning during his sensory gym routine. He worked hard on all of his physical and sensory goals/skills, as well as addition and rhyming skills. 

" Oh no, I'm stuck!

Here is Eric and his fellow peers from Oakwood practicing a song for the upcoming Christmas Concert! Eric had three performances and not only used his awesome dance moves, but sang beautifully in front of a large audience.

Have lovely evening and see you (ALL I hope) tomorrow!

Mr. Jacob : )
