TGIF...Summer Count Down
Well, we have officially started our countdown to summer...it is still a long ways off (16 school days to be exact!). We made this paper chain this week, and have been cutting off one piece per day. I remember making paper chains like this in school growing up and saw some bloggy friends doing it as well, so I decided to do it with my kids as well. As I we were putting it together, I realized how many goals I could target.
First of all, we worked on the fine motor skills of cutting paper into strips and stapling. Then, we worked on creating a rainbow pattern on our chain. For my non-verbal students, we used PECS to practice requesting colors. And, of course, we are now working on counting each day as well as understanding the concept of time.
The only sad part for me is...our countdown isn't even to summer break...we go straight into summer school! At least then, we only have school for half-days, 4 days a week! I'm looking forward to any kind of break!
