This week in speech and language, Ms. Kate's Uppers HAD A BALL learning about different kinds of figurative language such as idioms, homophones, and synonyms! Ms. Barbara's Uppers worked hard on their nonverbal communication skills with Ms. Jen to prepare for their Diener stage debut that is scheduled for next week! Ms. Shannon's Inters also worked on nonverbal communication, specifically eye contact and facial expressions, and enjoyed our special topic time on Friday.
Primary and inters students completed their end of year assessments this week. In addition, primary students participated in their weekly motor group focusing on body/spatial awareness, rhythm and timing. We continued to work in our handwriting books, focusing on letter "J". Inters students completed a writing activity called "info. about myself" focusing on capitalization rules.
This week in the Social Club, we made up names and assigned roles for our puppets for our puppet show "Busy Bee's at the Diener Hive". We came up with a very interesting story plot and we will create a problem and solution next week. The kids practiced talking to each other with their puppets. We encourged them to use their imaginations to answer questions about their puppets family and what school their puppet went to. They came up with some very creative answers!
We made observations of our terrariums, this week. The kids drew pictures of the changes they noticed in their bottles and answered some questions to help them to sequence the steps that we took when putting our terrariums together.
