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 is Firefighter Carter Brown
Our morning activity was a fun Scavenger Team Building activity. Students used both language and auditory processing and comprehension skills, sequencing and math skills, abstract thinking, reading skills, problem solving skills, fine motor skills, visual spatial skills, directional, complex and positional language, and team building skills.
Mr. Carter was our teacher today and went over months, weeks, dates, days, year, weather, time (past, present/now, future), and feelings. This is a great opportunity to work on ideation and symbolism, abstract and complex communication, mathematics and the passage of time, social and life skills, and communication skills.
In gym today we played Scooter Handball and Soccer Baseball. Students had to work together and used their auditory processing skills, visual spatial skills, hand-eye coordination, teamwork, sportsmanship, motor planning, praxis, fine and gross motor skills, proprioception skills, vestibular and bilateral movements, and balance and coordination.
After lunch we used our reading skills, phonics and phonological awareness, segmenting and blending skills, grammar and spelling, printing and motor skills to practice our letters and sentence writing.
In the afternoon we went on our fun picnic adventure to Skymark Deli! The boys did very well listening to the instructions and rules, following road safety rules, using their manners, reading skills, and two-way communication skills to place an order, money skills to figure out costs and change, and many more elements in the Ontario Curriculum for Mathematics, Literacy, and Life Skills!
And on we go!!!
Ordering time.
Now time to chow down!
Self explanatory lol.
Fun in the sun.
I hope Ojani doesn't remember my pin! haha
Road Safety.
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. Today I also added a writing component to our reflection where students had 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.
HOMEWORK: Tell your parents what you ordered at the deli, and how our picnic went!
Have a great evening!
Mr. Jacob : )
