We began our sunny Monday with sensory diets, science, and integration.
Sensory diets are so important for regulation, 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. Science is important for creativity, language arts and communication skills, mathematics skills, abstract thinking and complex communication, fine motor skills, problem solving 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.

In gym class today we participated in an obstacle course and then played Coloured Octopus. It was so much fun and everyone demonstrated great upper body strength, core strength, visual spatial, teamwork, social skills, social problem solving skills, sportsmanship, motor planning, body mapping, sequencing, gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, and balance and coordination.
In Mindfulness today we went over a fun Harry Potter yoga video from Cosmic Kids Yoga. All of our friends were so attentive, focused, determined, and calm while working on their breathing, body awareness and body mapping and flexibility.
At 1:00 p.m. today Mr. Nahi took us on our second No Frill's trip. The boys worked together in teams to find, discuss, weigh, bag, and pay for our salmon meal.

Cashing out
Oh no! We did not have enough money. Our friends had to figure out what items we did not need right now in order to make the payment.
Success!!!
At the end of the day we continued our experiments, tests, findings, and worked on our science boards! Thursday is our Science Fair and parents can come and see all of our hard work between 1-3!
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!
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. You can also have your child create their own picture story book using the 5-Finger Retell Model.
