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.
Here we are using our problem solving skills, measurement, division and multiplication, number sense and numeracy, geometry, two-way communication, complex communication, and abstract thinking to finish our wall calendar.
Mr. Sander 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! We 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 before we got into two groups and had some fun with a science experiment. The boys used social skills, team building skills, life skills, scientific language and problem solving skills, fine motor skills, math skills, complex and abstract thinking skills, and two-way communication skills.

We also went over our Talent Show performance and settled on two Teen Titan songs: "The Waffle Song" and "Pyramid Mummy Money". The boys also discussed what to wear and who their characters are. Very excited to watch the audition tomorrow!
Lastly, we went over our Zones of Regulation and reflected on our day. 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 : )
