September 3-6, 2019

Welcome to our first CSSI blog of the school year!  What an amazing week that it has been.  We all have enjoyed getting to know each and every student in our class.  The students have put a lot of effort into learning the new routines and expectations while at school.

Each student had the opportunity to learn through play and exploration during our academic centres.  This allowed Ms. Rowntree, Ms. Herring and Ms. Hamilton to make observations about the learning taking place.  

For Language Arts, we used Interactive Books. Students could take on and off pictures to support their learning of new words and colours.  

In Math, we had so much learning our numbers 1-10 while "fishing".  What fun it was to be together in a group setting and each take turns going fishing for numbers.  
We also had a centre time where we made placemats to be used for our lunch time.  We gave students healthy options to put onto their placemats and discussed eating food that is good for our bodies.  We will have them laminated so that they last us all year long.  
Finally, we all spent time being in our sensory room.  The jelly fish aquarium and the gel mats are some of our favourite tools. We are so fortunate to have a calming space where our students can become regulated and be ready to learn.
Have a lovely weekend and see everyone next week!
