Yoga

Last week we introduced a short yoga activity to the end of our Interactive White Board time twice a week. Yoga is a great way to develop self-regulation skills and gross motor skills. We have already seen a big improvement in the amount of time the students can attend to the Yoga video. So far we have been using "Bug Yoga" which involves three poses.

DIY Sensory Bag


 
We made this sensory bag using four easy to find items. We got a heavy duty Ziploc bag from our stock order (TDSB stock catalogue) and added 2 bottles of coloured hair gel from Dollarama, and a whole bunch of sparkles. We then taped all the way around on the seams with packing tape. The students have been enjoying using this on the light table (as seen below), drawing shapes, tracing letters, and making hand prints.
