The boys had such a fulfilling and fun filled day parents and carers! We went over some great social problem solving, math (time), auditory processing (pizza game), and had a blast at gymnastics.
The day began with some sensory fun and regulation time. Evan completed his sensory circuit, while Eric, Avery, and Zachary did bean bag crashes and some Lego play time.
Mr. Avery was our teacher today and led the class through time (past, present, and future), calendar work (years, months, days, and weeks), emotions and feelings, and morning greetings.
In math today we were split up into two groups (which was a great social problem solving exercise in itself!), and then we had to make a clock using numbers 1-12, and then show the time written on the board with only our bodies. There was some great two way conversation, brainstorming, team work, and social problem solving.
In language arts we played a fun auditory processing pizza game! I read out several pizza orders from different customers, and our chefs had to remember the exact orders and recreate the pizzas using our pizza props. A great game for auditory processing, memory recall, following sequences, and word comprehension and application.
In gym today we continued played a fun new team game called "Egg Toss" (a play on Chuck the Chicken). But first, we had to play a little Dodge Ball from everyone's request! Haha
We had to separate our friends in two different groups. One team had to run around the 'chicken coop" while the other had to chase down the 'red egg' and play over-under. As the one team was playing over-under, the other team had to count how many times they got around the 'chicken coop' before they were down! It was a lot of fun and there were so many great acts of sportsmanship and team work!
Gymnastics was yet again a huge hit and success for everyone. The boys demonstrated excellent patience, listening skills, and movements in gymnastics today. We worked on our balance and coordination, proprioceptive, vestibular, and bilateral movements, sportsmanship, gross motor skills, and motor planning. We also got to spend some extra time on the slide, big trampoline, and foam pit!

Have a great evening friends and see you tomorrow!
