Exploration through sensorimotor activities
Lesson Outline
We used Santino's visual communication board to plan out the day's activities. First, we started out by checking the dryness of the soil of the houseplants in the classroom. I then helped Santino water those that needed watering, via physical prompts and modeling techniques. We then went outside to check the growth of the seeds that we had planted in a flowerpot a few weeks ago. The plant has started growing buds so we checked to see if there was any smell and examined the florets under a little magnifying glass. We went indoors, washed our hands and continued our sensorimotor awareness by engaging in some activities in the classroom. Santino particularly enjoyed feeling and sensing the different weighted and sized objects I placed in plastic eggs. He shook them, opened and closed them, with and without their contents, enjoyed the sound they made and the proprioceptive feeling of the egg with the objects rattling inside. This was paired with a verbal narrative to reinforce the concepts learned (e.g. open, shut; up, down; in, out; heavy, light, etc. ). This activity benefits cognitive growth as it integrates sensorimotor processing with cognitive and emotional processing, and as Santino is so sensory perceptive, he remained interested and engaged in this activity for a good amount of time. He also enjoyed discovering what was inside each egg. We finished the session by reading a book about size comparison to reinforce and consolidate concepts acquired from the sensorimotor activities experienced throughout the session.
