We began our day with integration, ring toss, sensory diets, and Floortime (play). Play 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. 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. 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.

Life Skills and Team Work
In gym today the students played a couple warm up games then played a great game William created called, Pac Man Capture the Flag. All the activities 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.
In Mindfulness today we practiced being calm, still, and focusing on our breathing and heart beat. All of our friends were so attentive, focused, determined, and calm while working on their breathing, body awareness and body mapping, regulation, and flexibility.
After lunch we practiced writing letters and making words, as well as fixing a sentence on the board and come up with our own ideas for the question: What is Groundhog Day? Students worked together on printing, phonics, sentence formation, word association, two-way communication, and problem solving.
Here we are working on time.
In the sensory gym we worked on our hand-eye coordination, teamwork, sportsmanship, motor planning, fine and gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, math, time, phonics and rhyming skills, and balance and coordination. Today we used our practice clock, phonics box, rhyming games, and two-digit addition and subtraction while in the gym!
After recess we engaged in a Auditory Processing barrier activity. Students had to use their auditory processing skills, visual spatial skills, directional and positional language, problem solving skills, math skills, fine motor skills, and sequencing skills.
Lastly, we went over our Zones of Regulation and used different coloured blocks to symbolize how our day was, and how different times of the day went. We also got to share our own ideas and thoughts on how our day went, and took turns saying one nice thing about our friends from today's work.
Have a great evening! Mr. Jacob : )
