Like most mornings these days, we began with SJA integration and our ring toss math game. Today, however, brought a social problem during the game that required a good amount of time to solve, and help some of us become regulated again. While this was occurring our other friends played a fun auditory processing social game called Hot Lava in Ms. Andrea's class.
Ms. Elizabeth was our teacher today and went over the month, date, day, year, weather, time, and feelings.
Here is Mr. Carter showing off his attendance and calendar work!
In gym class today we played a fan favourite Colour Octopus. It was so much fun and everyone demonstrated great auditory processing skills, teamwork, social skills, sportsmanship, motor planning, body mapping, sequencing, gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, and balance and coordination.
After gym we had a nice little session and discussion on sportsmanship, teamwork, and big/medium/small problems. Everyone was an active participant and there were some great ideas and conversations by all! Great work : )
After lunch recess today we got into groups to engage in a team building session. Students had to work together in order to create, design, and build their own buildings with various recyclable materials and art supplies. We had to use our two way oral communication skills, problem solving skills, abstract thinking skills, creative skills, fine motor skills, math skills, teamwork skills, and social skills.
Zach showed us his new toy from the pioneer days!
Apparently I should not leave my phone lying around haha.
The very last session of the day was led by Mr. Dean. He made a great team building game involving non-verbal communication, auditory processing, and language and phonics skills. We also had to use teamwork, sportsmanship, and social skills.
HOMEWORK TIPS:
1) Work on two and three-digit addition and subtraction questions, whether you write down some questions for your child, or use math to cook, clean, set the table, do chores, play games, create a game, etc.
2) Discuss good and poor sportsmanship. Use examples and pictures, videos, role-play, etc. Also, discuss big/medium/small problems and have your child make a chart showing where they think specific incidents should fall under.
3) Spend 15 minutes reading a book of your child's choice, a cartoon, instructions, recipe, comic strip, etc. Make reading fun, engaging, an adventure, and not a boring chore.
4) Have your child come up with their own creative action game involving rules, a points system, and number of players. Your child can name the game and write down the rules, and then orally explain the game to family members.
