As always we began our fun Friday with our Show and Tell session. Everyone had to describe their object, share why they brought it in, where they got it from, how long they have had it, and why it is so special. We also used a Question Wheel to help work on our questioning and answering skills, using descriptive language, and working on inferencing and oral communication skills.
After Show & Tell the boys were eager to move! Zachary wanted to dance to Go Noodle with Ms. Kelsey, while Eric and Evan went with Mr. Jacob to complete an obstacle course. The boys demonstrated great auditory processing skills, hand-eye coordination, teamwork, sportsmanship, motor planning, fine and gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, and balance and coordination.
In Art class today Mr. Scott had a fun sensory, fine motor, exploration session with paint, cubes, pipe cleaners, and string. Everyone made symmetrical art pieces, as well as abstract and colourful art pieces.
For Science, we recapped our previous work on Habitats. This was followed by a brief discussion over the terms "herbivore", "omnivore", and "carnivore". Everyone was very engaged and already knew so much about animals and the food chain. Students then had to get into two separate groups and sort different animals using a hula hoop Venn Diagram. Next, we played a fun gym game called "The Food Chain" where we had some students wear yellow shirts and elastic bands for herbivores, green shirts and elastic bands for omnivores, and red shirts and elastic bands for carnivores. First, all the herbivores and omnivores had to move around their habitat in search of food, i.e. water, plants, and insects. They had one minute to try and find their food before the carnivores were released! Carnivores had to tag herbivores and omnivores before they ran to the safety zones (meaning they were too quick and escaped the carnivores). Those that got tagged by a carnivore had to give them one of their elastic bands (lives), and if a herbivore and omnivore that escaped did not have a water, plant, and/or insect card that they found, they too would have to give up an elastic (life). This was such a fun game and everyone did very well! The boys demonstrated great auditory processing skills, hand-eye coordination, teamwork, sportsmanship, motor planning, fine and gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, and balance and coordination.
