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. 

The boys used auditory and language processing, gross motor skills, bilateral movements, fine motor skills, life skills, math skills, and team work to practice for the Talent Show.

Here we are using our language and auditory comprehension and processing skills, reading skills, math (number sense and numeracy, measurement, and fractions) and sequential thinking skills, fine motor skills, and team work skills to make a Norwegian potato dish and sushi!

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 practice our Talent Show, cook and set up for our market. The boys did well using their gross and fine motor skills, bilateral movements, body awareness, visual spatial skills, language and auditory comprehension and processing skills, reading skills, math (number sense and numeracy, measurement, and fractions), sequential thinking skills, and team work.

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 : )
