Our crazy fun day began with some Ghost Buster dancing on Go Noodle. Go Noodle is a great website featuring all different kinds of dancing, yoga, stretching, and body movement videos. It promotes regulation, motor planning, gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, and balance and coordination.
Elizabeth and Carter enjoyed dancing with our skeleton friend!
Afterwards we decided to play Twister. Twister is great for our language and math skills, body mapping and positioning, gross motor skills, bilateral movements, and sportsmanship.
Here we are completing our journals about Halloween.
At recess today we played a fun new game that was introduced to us by Dr. Gil Tippy called, "Ro Sham Bo". It is essentially tag meets rock-paper-scissors. It was a lot of fun and everyone had to be aware of who got who out, where all our friends were throughout the sports court, and ensuring that everyone was playing fair.
In gym today we played our fun team building game called Island Fishing. Before we could play, our friends had to get into four equal groups, and then build their boats. This was a very difficult task and we had some great discussion and brainstorming ideas for our social problem solving. We actually got to play this game today and still had great conversations on social problems, teamwork, sportsmanship, emotions and feelings.
Some much needed calming time with Cosmic Kids Yoga.
Mr. Jacob being a silly (and weird looking) Popeye! Haha
The team!
Our first stop in the afternoon for our Halloween Party was the Bat Cave. We got into teams and played a fun spider blowing relay race game, and then haunted balloon volleyball! We demonstrated some great motor planning skills, gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, balance and coordination, hand-eye coordination, and sportsmanship.

Our second stop was Hogwarts! We played some fun Hogwarts games and then got a certificate from the prestigious school itself!
Third, we went to the Pumpkin Patch. We got to decorate pumpkins and then use our sense of touch to guess what we used for monster teeth, witch fingers, werewolf eyeballs, brain, etc.
Mr. Kyle was a potion expert in the Hocus Pocus room. Everyone got to work together and make a fun potion that turned into everyone's favourite...CANDY!!!
Lastly, we had a fashion show, we went treat-or-treating, and then got to pie Mr. Jacob, Mr. Matthew, and Mr. Kyle in the face! : )
Have a great evening, have fun tonight and be safe!
Mr. Jacob : )
HOMEWORK:
1) Use math skills to count, sort, and classify candy from tonight's Treat-or-Treating.
2) Discuss what house was the best for candy, for decorations, for fun. Draw a picture and discuss how the night went and the best parts.
3) Make a fun Halloween game as a family!
