We had a great week in speech and language and social skills. The Uppers continued to learn about conversing and also staying in touch with friends over the summer. We enjoyed brainstorming expected and unexpected telephone behaviors. Engaging in role-playing scenarios, especially over the telephone, was especially fun!
Ms. Jenni and Ms. Shannon's Inters worked hard to expand their semantic (vocabulary) networks this week. They loved playing Headbanz, working on perspective taking, and integrating the various clues given to them by their peers to problem solve. This game has quickly become one of our absolute favorites!
Monday was Fitness For Health, We have been working on hitting a birdy with a racket, and continued the same thing on Tuesday and Wednesday. We worked on body and space awareness, not running into each other and saying excuse me when we do. Friday for dance the uppers learned the thriller dance.
Ms. Jenni's class focused on rhythm and timing skills during our weekly motor group. They continue to work very hard to complete end of year assessments. Their improvements are truly amazing!
Light, camera, action! This week in the Social Club we began making our puppets for our awesome puppet show! The kids have been working together to come up with a story plot, characters, a problem and a solution that will take place in this little play of theirs. We used different materials to make our paper bag 'bees' and every bee has a job/profession (inspired by Disney's "Bee Movie"). How exciting!
We used different shapes to make pictures in the Art Club. The kids used their imaginations to make robots and aliens, chickens and lions, Ms. Patrices' and Ms. Lauries'... it was truly amazing to watch their creativity soar through art!
In science this week, the primary and inters started learning about the butterfly life cycle! We made butterfly books and life cycle wheels. We even got to watch a short power point slide show that went through the process of the life cycle. The uppers started constructing their soda bottle terrariums! Over the next few weeks, we will make observations about what we see in our bottles!
