Last Friday's movie day was a success! The students enjoyed helping make the popcorn with an air popper, adding melted butter and salt, and then eating it while watching our movie (they chose "Sing").
While movie day is a fun activity to end our busy school week with, there is also a lot of learning involved! Social and leisure skills like participating in a group activity, joint attention, sitting appropriately, and requesting are all part of watching a movie. We will have movie day every Friday, though we will maintain our usual morning schedule with the movie activities only running from 11:00-12:00.
This week we have started some exciting new literacy programs with our students. We have introduced an alternative pencil activity where the students can write based off a picture prompt using an iPad app called "word wizard". We have also begun a writing program called "predictable chart writing". Check out the following link for more info on this program: PCW. Stay tuned for updates on our students' progress, as these programs are being used in other CSSI classrooms with great success.
Here's some other photos from the week of our students participating in various learning activities during their school day!
Lastly, here's some photos from today's art project. The students followed 7 steps of instructions to complete their own jack-o-lantern!
