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.
Having some Floortime fun with Eric's Dragon mask!!!
Mr. Ojani practicing his SJA math work! Great job buddy : )
Here we are using our language and auditory comprehension and processing skills, math (number sense and numeracy, measurement, and fractions) and sequential thinking skills, fine motor skills, and team work skills to make Honey Face & Hair Masks.
We also worked on our gross motor skills, visual spatial skills, bilateral coordination, balance and coordination, and team work skills during our dance routines for our Talent Show!!!
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.
Today was our last gymnastics session. The boys demonstrated excellent patience, listening skills, and movements in gymnastics today. We worked on our balance and coordination, proprioceptive, vestibular, and bilateral movements, sportsmanship, gross motor skills, visual spatial skills and motor planning. The boys have now progressed to the spring board, high beams and walked across a new obstacle course over the foam pit! Great job gentlemen : )
Here are Sander and Avery practicing their duet and making Norwegian potatoes for the market! The boys used auditory and language processing, gross motor skills, bilateral movements, fine motor skills, life skills, math skills, and team work.
Gathering supplies for tomorrow's market set up.
Sensory Break
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 : )
