Hard to believe it has already been 81 days of TEIR! We have just 4 more days together next week! The kids continue to work hard and have a great rapport with each other.
What an eventful week it has been! We tried a new RBLM Station, we had lots of snow, we had a SNOW DAY, we tried a new puzzle, used lego for a multi-sensory station, participated in the BC Mobile Museum that came to our school…wow!
This RBLM Station is called Swim & Dry. We have to do the army crawl across the long mat and then stand up and “wipe” our arms and legs. This gives our body full tactile stimulation, and increases our upper arm, shoulder, and leg strength. It was really fun! (At least Ms. Fong thinks so!)
The snow was exciting throughout the whole week and the kids thoroughly enjoyed having the chance to play in the snow. They were bundled up and came back with big smiles and rosy cheeks. Then Wednesday was a SNOW DAY and everyone got to stay home! Can anyone recognize where the picture on the right is? That is the gate around Gaston Park on Thursday morning, with no recognizable path in sight!
We continue to practice our spelling words and some eye coordination & math skills by building words with Lego and making an under the sea puzzle!
We ended the week with a fun “trip” (to the library room next to us!) to the BC Mobile Museum! We had the chance to learn all about the history of BC and the significant impact, influence, and presence of the First Nations people. There were plenty of great books for us to browse. We even got to touch some special artifacts like animal fur, stone hammers, weaved baskets, and replica arrowheads! It was a great way to end the week, with it followed by Fun Friday!
