As is the norm lately, we began the day with integration, sensory diets, and ring toss. 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. 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.
Math Ring Toss
Journal writing.
Here is Mr. Carter working on his addition and subtraction skills by using trains with Ms. Rebecca!
We decided to work on proper sentence formation, grammar and spelling, and creative reflection by writing about our favourite bird from yesterday.
Upper body strength, core strength, bilateral movements, gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, visual spatial, and math skills.
Pulling a weighted wedge backwards while on a scooter- vestibular and proprioceptive work.
Passing a weighted ball while jumping on a jumping trampoline- vestibular and proprioceptive work.
Mr. Ojani was our teacher today and went over months, weeks, dates, days, year, weather, time, and feelings.
Here we are working on our fine motor skills, letter formation, and printing skills.
In gym class today we played a fun relay race game with Mr. Kyle, and then played Coloured Octopus (a fan favourite!) 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.
In Mindfulness today we went over two calming and deep breathing yoga videos. All of our friends were so attentive, focused, determined, and calm while working on their breathing, body awareness and body mapping, and flexibility.
In the afternoon today we went to No Frill's to look at prices and ingredients for Sander's Salmon dish. We had to use our reading skills, social skills, life skills, money skills, measurement skills, number sense and numeracy, oral communication skills, and team work skills.
Looking for sour cream!
"Where do we find dill?"
Pricing out different kinds of butter. We looked for the most amount of butter for the lowest cost!
Success!
Hmmmm....so much salmon!
This potato was bigger than Ms. Elizabeth's head! Haha
Mr. Nahi is giving us a hand.
For the remainder of the day we attended a SJA Remembrance Day assembly and then practiced our dance moves for our Christmas Play!
HOMEWORK:
(1) Look at, discuss, research, and inquire about a scientific problem and/or question to test/investigate. Students have all chosen their own topics, and for homework they can come up with a more specific question/hypothesis, as well as look at materials needed.
(2) Work on two and three-digit addition and subtraction questions, as well as multiplication and division 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, divide using coins and prices for things they are interested in, etc.
(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. You can also have your child create their own picture story book using the 5-Finger Retell Model.
Have a great evening everyone!
Mr. Jacob : )
