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.

Here is Mr. Ojani showing his peers two fun science experiments!
We used lemons, water, and baking soda to blow up some balloons!
As is the norm lately, we continued to work on our Cultural Market and used our creativity, fine motor skills, abstract thinking, two-way communication, problem solving, language, writing, and math skills. Here we are completing some activities for the market!
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 Mad Libs game that Mr. Dean led. The boys worked on nouns, verbs, and adjectives while working together to create a silly story. They also 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.
Here we are during our sensory Freeze Dance break to help us regulate!
After snack we played Ms. B's Pictionary game. 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.
Have a great evening! Mr. Jacob : )
