Hi again, This week the children began a paper mache project. We are in the process of creating some giant bugs to act as visual reminders for strategies we can draw on when people or situations are 'bugging us!' Blowing up the balloons with a pump was a lot of fun and gave us all a good work out.
The activity has also been great for developing patience, team work, sustained concentration and a host of maths skills to do with measuring, such as length, width, volume, capacity and estimation. We have made a great start on our bugs thanks to the support of our Inner Wheel volunteers, Val and Barb.
I am a special education teacher and autism teaching and learning coach, working in mainstream and special education settings in the Hume Region in Victoria Australia.
I am passionate about providing all children with the opportunity to lead enviable lives.
My goal is to share what ever I know about evidence based, best practice strategies and resources that promote positive and inclusive school environments.
I'd really like to read your thoughts too so feel free to leave a comment when you visit.
I love the idea of blowing the balloons up with a pump! What fun that must have been!
