We began our day with integration, sensory diets, ring toss and some science time. Science is great for creativity, language arts and complex communication skills, abstract thinking, problem solving skills, inquiry and mathematics skills, role-play and drama, fine motor skills, teamwork, and social skills. Ring toss is a great tool to work on our fine and gross motor skills, visual spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, accuracy, turn taking, sportsmanship, and math skills.

As always we went over our Question Wheel and looked at different questioning techniques for Show & Tell. Everyone did a great job and used lots of inferencing, questioning and answering skills, oral communication, problem solving, scientific vocabulary, adjectives, and implemented the question wheel and the Five W's. This has been a work in progress as some of our friends do find it difficult to think about questions, why we chose a specific toy/object, how much time has gone by since I got the toy/object, etc. Show & Tell is very important for our students to make connections to times, places, and faces that occur in their world, and using all of our skills mentioned above. I also want to remind parents that Show & Tell is every Friday! : )
Mr. Eric was our teacher today and went over months, weeks, dates, days, year, weather, time, and feelings.
Mr. Jacob being Lizzie lol.
In Art today we got into groups to participate in fine motor and sensory creative/symbolic art pieces!
Have a lovely weekend and we shall see everyone Monday! Just a reminder we have our No Frill's Trip on Tuesday and Thursday is our Science Fair! Parents can come visit from 1-3 to see all of the cool experiments!
HOMEWORK:
To go over some of our favourite items/toys/clothes/photos/etc. and take a photo of them, develop the photos (Walmart has instant printing for 10 cents a photo), put them in a scrap book, and then write the date and year you got them, why, from where, from who, what it is, etc. During our Show & Tell all of us are having difficulties putting a specific place and time on our objects. Keeping a scrap book (journal log) of our items, toys, and memories will help us make connections, links, and begin to comprehend time and make the connections between past, present, and future events in our lives. This should be an ongoing project for the remainder of the year and then can continue on throughout the following years as well! Have fun with it and get creative!
Mr. Jacob : )
