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.
In the morning the boys continued their Team Building game called "Castle Catapult". The boys had to use their reading skills, language & auditory comprehension and processing skills, phonics and phonological awareness, two-way communication skills, complex communication and abstract thinking skills, problem solving skills, measurement and number sense and numeracy, sportsmanship and team work skills.
We also participated in a series of different Easter themed activities organized by Ms. Erika in transition. The boys used gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, accuracy, bilateral movements, balance and coordination, body mapping and awareness, motor planning, praxis, and sportsmanship while participating in a Easter Egg Hunt, Races, and Tower challenge.
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.
In the afternoon we got together with Ms. Andrea's and Ms. Jessica's classes to make Easter cards for our family. Everyone used auditory & language processing and comprehension skills, phonological awareness and phonics, reading and letter recognition, printing and letter formation, memory recall and application skills, fine motor skills, and ideation and abstract thinking.
We also listened to a story read by Ms. Jessica during a story session.
Lastly, we went over our Zones of Regulation and discussed how we were feeling today while enjoying the lovely weather! 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 Easter weekend everyone! Mr. Jacob : )
