Happy Tuesday Parents and Carers!


We began our day with integration, sensory diets, and Floortime (child-led 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. We also talked about our Cultural Market and began to prepare for it. Students used their creativity, fine motor skills, abstract thinking, two-way communication, problem solving, language and math skills.


                                                   Cultural Market creations and research!


Watching our great You Tube movie we made!


Mr. Carter 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 soccer baseball! 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.


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.

Today was our fourth gymnastics session.  The boys demonstrated excellent patience, listening skills, and movements in gymnastics today. We worked on our balance and coordination, proprioceptive, vestibular, and bilateral movements, sportsmanship, gross motor skills, visual spatial skills and motor planning.


Lastly, we went over our Zones of Regulation and discussed how gymnastics 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 : )

HOMEWORK:

1. Find a fun science experiment to do at school with my peers for next week.
