We began our day with integration, sensory diets, partner play/team building, and Show & Tell. 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.
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! : )
For Art today Mr. Dean had creative fine motor skills activity relating to animals. We had to use fine motor skills, shapes and symmetry, abstract thinking skills, bilateral movements, symbolism, creativity, our sensory systems and individuality. Everyone did very well working almost solely independently.
In gym today the students played Ghostbuster Awesomeness Tag (I did not name it lol). This game challenged the students auditory processing skills, hand-eye coordination, teamwork, sportsmanship, motor planning, fine and gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, and balance and coordination.
