Highlights for October

1. Leisure Skills/Functional Living Skills

With the first snowfall in Calgary, we focused on building our self-care skills (dressing) as well as making healthy living choices. With our outdoor routines and transitions, we have been working on building our independence with dressing appropriately for the weather. We also enjoyed some sensory play while developing leisure skills as we played in the leaves and snow.

2. Functional Academics

We are continuing to build our functional literacy and numeracy skills through daily calendar work and individual bin work. We have been learning to take turns and participate in circle time during morning calendar. During our daily literacy block, we have been working on spelling the days of the week through a cut + paste activity which has also strengthened our fine motor/hand-eye coordination skills.
