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.
Floortime- creative play

Mr. Sander was our teacher today and went over months, weeks, dates, days, year, weather, time, and feelings.
In gym today the students played a couple warm up games then played a great game called Capture the Castle. 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 worked on our spelling and writing skills, fine motor skills, and phonics and proper sentence structure.
We then had to fix a sentence on the board and come up with answers for the question: What are some rules for gymnastics? Students worked together on printing, phonics, sentence formation, word association, two-way communication, and problem solving.
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!
Surfs up dude!

After recess we continued our fun science experiment that entailed measurement skills, scientific and complex communication skills, problem solving skills, math skills, team work and creative arts skills.

After five tries Sander and Avery were successful! Great job gentlemen and great determination : )
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 : )
