We began our Wednesday with sensory diets, science, ring toss, money work, 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.

Mr. Avery was our teacher today and went over months, weeks, dates, days, year, weather, time, and feelings.
In gym class today we played a game similar to Octopus and then Bench Ball. It was so much fun and everyone demonstrated great upper body strength, core strength, 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.
Our afternoon began with some cooking! We went over all of our ingredients, how to prepare them, what seasoning and spices we need, and the proper temperature and time to cook the meal. Students did demonstrate independent skills during the preparation (fine motor skills/hand-eye/visual spatial), and needed some support when discussing measurement, time, fractions, and numbers sense and numeracy. It was so much fun, we all worked well as a team, and Sander's Salmon was delicious!
Preparing, measuring, setting up, and discussing how to get our meal ready!

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.
