Happy Wednesday Students, 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 are the boys using their reading skills, phonics and phonological awareness, segmenting and blending skills, grammar and spelling, printing and motor skills, two-way communication, sequencing, team work and logical thinking skills to correct Mr. Jacob's sentence.
Here is Carter spelling some of our morning message words using shaving foam.
We began our day by playing a fun game called Penguins to Pickles that Ojani brought in from home. This game is great for inferencing, questioning, abstract thinking, problem solving, turn taking, oral communication, categorization, classification, phonological awareness and phonics, reading and letter recognition, memory recall and application skills, auditory and language processing and comprehension skills, and social skills.
Afterwards we got into two groups and had some fun with Castle Catapult. The boys used social skills, team building skills, life skills, language & auditory comprehension and processing skills, phonics and phonological awareness, scientific language and problem solving skills, fine motor skills, math skills (arithmetic, measurement, fractions, and time), inquiry and ideation, sequential thought, complex and abstract thinking skills, and two-way communication skills.
Mr. Ojani was our teacher today and went over months, weeks, dates, days, year, weather, time (past, present/now, future), and feelings.
In gym today we participated in Crazy tag and Manhunt Students had to work together and used their 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 beats in Yoga. All of our friends were so attentive, focused, determined, and calm while working on their breathing, body awareness and body mapping, regulation, and flexibility during Cosmic Kids Yoga.
Right after lunch we spent 20-25 minutes going over some problems that occurred during recess. The boys used empathy, perspective taking, complex communication, inferencing, two way communication, listening skills, team work, life skills and social skills.
After our social problem solving Ms. D led the boys in a fun Art lesson! Students used their fine motor skills, creative and abstract thinking skills, team work, social skills, life skills (cleaning up), and individual artistic abilities (by using various objects to paint with).

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. We continued our written component to our reflection where students have to write down their top three activities from the day, and then label them as being 'green', 'yellow', 'blue', or 'red' from the Zones of Regulation.
Have a great evening!
Mr. Jacob : )
