Happy Friday Students, 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 worked on our Cultural Market and used our creativity, fine motor skills, abstract thinking, two-way communication, problem solving, language and math skills. Here we are completing some activities for the market!
As always we went over our Question Wheel and looked at different questioning techniques for Show & Tell. Everyone did a great job and used lots of inferencing, questioning and answering skills, oral communication, problem solving, scientific vocabulary, adjectives, and implemented the question wheel and the Five W's. This has been a work in progress as some of our friends do find it difficult to think about questions, why we chose a specific toy/object, how much time has gone by since I got the toy/object, etc. Show & Tell is very important for our students to make connections to times, places, and faces that occur in their world, and using all of our skills mentioned above. I also want to remind parents that Show & Tell is every Friday! : )
For Art today we had a fun fine motor building activity. Students had to use fine motor skills, science skills and language, abstract thinking skills, symbolism, creativity, two-way communication, problem solving, and team work skills. Everyone did well working together, but this is still a challenging activity for us.
Have a great evening! Mr. Jacob : )
