Happy Wednesday 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. 

Here is Mr. Carter helping his dear friend Mr. Eric head to reception, as poor Eric was not feeling well this morning.
We also talked about 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!

Here is Mr. Ojani practicing his math work from SJA. Great work buddy!



In gym today we played Crazy Tag and Crab Soccer baseball! This game 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 two science experiments. 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 continued on with our Rocket Ship adventures and created two awesome experiments that had some impressive force and volume! Both of our experiments produce a chemical reaction, which created an eruption and explosive reaction!

Now for the fun part!!! : )

(See, our soccer field was beneficial for Oakwood! lol)

Apparently it takes two teachers to open up one Mentos roll! 

It got higher than this, I swear! lol


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 : )

HOMEWORK:

1. Find a fun science experiment to do at school with my peers for next week.
2. Help plan, prepare, cook, and serve a family dinner with as little support as possible!
