Well, today was a chilly day that kept us inside for our recesses. We also saw some interesting hairstyles today, as it was Crazy Hair Day! We also had some great learning opportunities:
We viewed some songs/videos about 2D and 3D shapes before turning our focus to measurement. Students were asked to find one item in the classroom and bring it back to the carpet. Then, they had to find something smaller than that item. Finally, they had to find something that was larger than their original item. Afterwards, I read a funny short story called You are (Not) Small and then students worked on putting snowmen in order by their size.
The Occupational Therapist visited us today and talked to the students about the importance of our big and small muscles, including ways that we can strengthen them.
During our learning centers, students work on the computer, I-pads, with magnets and the light box, and in the writing center with stamps and card making items.
We also acted as scientists today, choosing four items in the classroom and then predicting if they would be magnetic or not. Then, students tested their predictions and observed if their chosen objects were actually magnetic or not.
We were also treated by a visit from the Speech and Language Pathologist! He shared a few stories on the I-pad and gave us a review on the Zones of Regulation.
We also learnt the sounds for /ee/ and /or/ and in gym we had relay races, practiced animal movements, and tried making different letter shapes with our bodies.
I'm looking forward to seeing the outfits that students will wear to school on Friday, which is Superhero Day!
