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, fine motor skills, team work, two-way communication skills, social skills, and our Five Finger Story Telling Model to work on our Spring Concert.
Here we are playing Twister and working on our balance and coordination, gross motor skills, body awareness and planning, bilateral movements, directional language, math and auditory processing skills.
Carter and Avery played a visual spatial memory game as well while waiting for our friends to get ready for morning circle. We worked on memory, recall, visual spatial and math skills.
Mr. Carter was our teacher today and went over months, weeks, dates, days, year, weather, time (past, present/now, future), and feelings.
In gym today we played a fun Team Challenge game called Rollerball. This game challenged the students' math skills, 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.
Before our team building game we practiced our lovely singing voices for the Spring Concert!
In the afternoon the boys participated in a fun Team Building game called "Castle Catapult". Here were the instructions:
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.
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 : )
