Bonjour Parents and Carers! (That is one of seven French words I know haha)

The boys had a busy and exciting Wednesday, and they were full of energy! They must know a special someone is coming to town soon. : )


We decided to get active right away today as everyone was very hyper and excited. Evan participated in his sensory diet with Mr. Jared while Eric and Avery danced with myself. Here are two photos of the boys practicing some dance moves from a great Just Dance Disney song: "Hot, hot, hot".

Everyone has been doing so well with their mental math and addition and subtraction skills. I have witnessed tremendous growth in a short span of time. This is one math game that has helped the boys practice quick, mental math and addition and subtraction. It is a game that we made up ourselves, and it involves fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, bilateral movement, and visual-spatial awareness.

Avery is having a turn.
Recorded our score.
Eric's turn!
Adding up our scores.

Mr. Avery was the teacher today. He went through time, calendar work, days to Christmas, emotions and feelings.


After morning circle Mr. Jared led the boys through a game of Magic Squares, which utilizes gross motor skills, bilateral movements, problem solving skills, team work, sportsmanship, and two way communication skills.

Mr. Jared read the boys a silly story about a farting dog! They absolutely loved it of course. Haha

While one of our friends chose to participate in a sensory circuit, Eric and Avery did well in Partner Play. They demonstrated creativity, food knowledge and awareness, turn taking, money skills, two way communication, engagement, and problem solving skills.

Writing our own menus! We had shrimp tacos, burritos, blueberry pie, and pizza!
Looks like a massive food fight! Haha

We continued playing Link Tag in gym class today, as well as had a turn on the Hot Wheels bike.


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.


We enjoyed watching St. Judes' Christmas Concert! It was very entertaining and our friends in St. Judes did very well

During Minute to Win It we worked on our concentration and focus, hand-eye coordination, proprioception skills, bilateral movements, fine and gross motor skills, math skills, time management, sportsmanship skills, and how to work through our emotions.


Wow I cannot believe we did all of that today! Great Wednesday gentlemen and I shall see you tomorrow!

Mr. Jacob : )
