Social Skills Group
Once a week we have the pleasure of welcoming our school social worker, Ms. Weston, and our speech teacher, Mrs. Frazee, into our classroom for a group lesson on social skills. The lessons include fun activities that provide practice in skills such as turn taking, following directions, greeting others, etc. So far this school year we have participated in a pretend grocery shopping experience, a game similar to hot potato, and some fun songs.
This past week our group lesson was based on the skill of greeting others. The students practiced making eye contact and using their words to say hello. The video below shows a glimpse of the two activities from the lesson. During the first activity the students took turns entering the classroom and greeting a friend and Ms. Weston. In the second activity, the students pretended to be getting onto the school bus and greeting their driver.

(I'm hoping by posting the video this way it will turn out clearer than the videos from last year's blog. The video is hosted on my school youtube account, but is not available by search on youtube for privacy and safety reasons.)

New Word Family
If you notice to the right, we began working with a new word family today. The _at family. The specific words we are focusing on are:
at
cat
bat
hat
rat
Our _it words have moved onto our word wall, but we will continue to work them in for practice!
I have had a few questions about when LINKS will begin. Right now, our school social worker is collecting the permission slips from the students who are signing up to be LINKS. Once the permission slips are turned in, she will be assigning LINKS to each of our students. I have provided her with different times and activities where LINK support would be beneficial for each child. Things should be ready in the near future, thank you all for being interested in and supporting such a great program here at Turrill.
