Happy Monday 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.

First thing this morning we worked together as a team to figure out how may students we have in Oakwood, and then make that number of copies for a letter home. We used problem solving, complex communication, numbers sense and numeracy, multiplication, and team work.
We continued to work 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!
During snack today, the boys also shared one thing that they did on the weekend!
In gym today we took a vote and decided on soccer and soccer-baseball. These games 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 Pictionary game that Ms. B led. The boys used social skills, team building skills, life skills, problem solving skills, fine motor skills, math skills, complex and abstract thinking skills, two-way communication skills, and spelling, phonics, and language processing.
Lastly, we went over our Zones of Regulation and discussed how we were feeling today. 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.
***REMINDER: Wednesday is our class trip to Chuck E Cheese's. Students need to bring in $16.00 for food, games, and gas costs. If this is a problem please email me and we can discuss the cost. Thank you : )
