Term 3 is drawing to a close as we look back and reflect on an amazing term of confidence growth, skills growth, knowledge growth, behavioural growth…and that is just the adults I work with!!  ? 

It has been an amazing term for many reasons.  My adult team is working together better than ever before and we are achieving great things.

I am very much looking forward to an upcoming resource making session.  “Many hands make light work.”  Creating particular and special resources is incredibly time consuming so having a resource making afternoon is going to go a very long way to meeting the needs of our students.

I am happy to share some of the activities and resources we have created and have been using during the last few weeks.

Big Rain Coming is a picture book that I have used as a Story Box base.  Each day we read the story, find the pages that match with the individual pictures and build the jigsaw.

The roadways toy is a fun cause and effect toy that requires matching, forward thinking, fine motor control and patience.  It is a lot of fun.

The puzzle is a simple puzzle we use as a short warm up activity.

The two images to the left show a communication board set around prepositions and the physical playground to which they refer.  We use this to ask students to follow directions.  The second step once following instructions is mastered, is to get the student to give instructions and then the adult can follow them!

These two activities are fine motor activities designed to strengthen the pincher grip.  How great are they!!  Sometimes I let the kids use them!.

Enjoy your kids during the upcoming holiday period.
