This week in music, we continued to work on our holiday songs for the concert on December 18th. We are singing a lot of fun songs, including "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and "Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah." We also did fun activities with rhythm sticks, such as "I Like to Move It." We are really enjoying learning our holiday songs!
Primary-The letter of the week was L and the kids continued to work on letter formation using a multi-sensory approach. This week the kids experimented with chalk during our handwriting group. They also participated in their weekly motor group dancing with bean bags and focusing on body awareness. In addition, the boys worked on formulating and maneuvering their very own obstacle courses.
This week during speech and language, Ms. Barbara and Ms. Abbe's Uppers continued to further their knowledge of figurative language - specifically, idioms. Not to blow our own horns or anything but we were on top of the world when we realized how much we had learned without having to pay an arm and a leg! :)
Ms. Kate and Ms. Ginny's Uppers are very excited about our Secret Snow Owl project. We spent some time discussing and practicing perspective taking and others' favorite things during Social & Life Skills group. We also had lots of fun learning about and celebrating Hanukkah!
Ms. Courtney and Ms. Deanna's Uppers had a blast reading about Pirate Joe and Pirate Pete but felt badly for them when they lost their ship! After our story, we used Give Me 5 to follow directions when creating our own pirate ships with sticker scenes. The boys especially enjoyed taking turns giving each other verbal directions.
