We began our day with integration, ring toss, sensory diets, and Floortime. 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.
Morning greetings with some new friends.
Morning Exercise
Science- the boys used social skills, team building skills, social and life skills, scientific language and problem solving skills, fine motor skills, math skills, complex and abstract thinking skills, and two-way communication skills.
(no pictures as Mr. Jacob was busy having fun and making a video!)
Mr. Eric was our teacher today and went over months, weeks, dates, days, year, weather, time (past, present/now, future), and feelings.
In gym today we played a couple fun games that 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 had some relation/regulation time. Afterwards Ms. D led the class in a fun Word Association game. The boys used social skills, team building skills, life skills, problem solving skills, fine motor skills, math skills, complex and abstract thinking skills, and two-way communication skills.
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. We also used our practice clock, phonics box, rhyming games, and two-digit addition and subtraction while in the gym.
Lastly, Sander's mother, Mrs. Amundsen, came into the school to give a presentation on helping animals. Mrs. Amundsen is a Veterinarian and showed the students slides and photos of animals being helped, and also brought in supplies to teach everyone how to take care of a sick and/or wounded animal! It was so much fun and everyone displayed great listening and two-way communication skills, questioning and answering skills, life skills, fine motor skills, science and math skills.
The doctors at work!
Have I seen this guy on Grey's Anatomy before?
