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.
The boys used auditory and language processing, gross motor skills, bilateral movements, fine motor skills, life skills, math skills, and team work to practice and perform for the Talent Show. Moreover, we had to use our two-way communication skills, social skills, life skills, money skills, math skills, and team work skills to make sales and barter with students from SJA.
In gym today we continued to play a fun Team Challenge game called Fortress Dodgeball and then Manhunt. These two 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.
In the afternoon we continued to sell our items from the Market in the cafeteria. We also had time to play a Barrier Auditory Processing game that utilizes both auditory and language processing and comprehension skills, prepositions and directional/positional language, math skills, fine motor skills, visual spatial skills, and abstract and symbolic thinking.
Here we are using our math and money skills to count our profits from the market. We still need to count all of the change on Monday.
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:
Choose one thing from the market that was your favourite and write a journal entry on a piece of paper with a picture showing what it was. Please use complete sentences, proper grammar and spelling.
Enjoy the rest of your night with your family members!!!!
