Increased attention to task during sensory-based learning
Lesson Outline
We worked on a lot of indoor activities today. Santino was in good spirits, giggling and loudly vocalizing his pleasure throughout the session. When I said "let's go put your book bag away," Santino repeated, "let's go!" He also repeated the word "fish" when we looked at the Beta fish in the classroom. I next read Santino two Easter books and he looked at some of the pictures as I read aloud. Santino enjoyed holding and stroking a balloon and stuffed animal I had given him earlier to better focus and sustain his attention. Next, Santino traced the alphabet using an educational magnetic game. Given hand-over hand instruction to guide him, Santino traced the curves of lowercase letters following directional arrows using a magnetic stylus which pulled the beads up visually to create a sensory-based learning experience. He delighted in erasing the magnetic pull, by using the tip of his finger or the opposite side of the stylus, to make the the beads disappear. We finished the session assembling a new and colorful number puzzle. Santino sustained attention to this activity for at least ten minutes, demonstrating good visual perceptual skills, eye-hand and bi-manual coordination as he looked from the model to the puzzle pieces to figure out how to assemble them correctly. This concluded a rewarding, engaging, and productive session.
