Fall session P-A-R-T-Y! (3/23)

This week we participated in the party that we planned during last weeks session. All students had a great time watching a show, eating donuts, and playing games that help with a variety of executive functioning skills. Below is a list of games we played, in addition to some pictures from the party! We hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing spring break! See you all in April for the Spring Session!

Planning 101 (3/16)

This week in EFC, we worked on our planning skills. We talked a lot about how, when doing many things throughout our day, it is important to make a plan first. We used the "Get ready-Do-Done" strategy to 'make a plan' for a math assignment. After practicing our strategy, we began to make a plan for the party we will be having next week! Because we have been working so hard on our cubicles and have been learning so many strategies, we decided to reward the students with a "pre Spring Break" party!

Below you will find pictures of the promethean board activity we used in order to plan our party.

This is the Get Ready-Do-Done template that we used to make the overall plan for our party. We discussed what materials we will need, how lunch each task will take, what we need to do our activities, and what our activity will look like when we are done. 

While we were planning our party, we had to make sure we allotted the right amount of time for each of the activities. We made sure to 'sketch time' and practice the strategies we have been learning. 

Finished Cubicles (3/9)

THEY'RE DONE! We have finally finished constructing our homework cubicles and we couldn't be more excited! Each student's cubicle is unique and individualized to fit their needs, which is amazing! They are all taking great pride in their work and we had enough time this week to do some homework using our cubicles. We will continue to teach the strategies found within the cubicles during each session so the students can independently use them! Check out the pictures below of all of us with our cubicles! Enjoy!!

 

               

Final Construction of Homework Cubicles (3/2)

This week we all finished the construction of our homework cubicles! We are so excited to begin to use them and show you all what the finished product looks like (pictures will be posted next week!).

Mrs. Lagone and I are very proud of the hard work that all of the students put into their cubicles. Each one of them is built to fit their needs and style, and they are taking a lot of pride in their work, which is wonderful!

Stay tuned for pictures of the finished product!
