It's the Friday before Halloween--definitely a day to rise up from our chairs and get moving. We stood up to draw Halloween-ish shapes but kept the markers and eraser on the floor so everyone had lots of opportunities to change planes during the session. An easy way to incorporate vestibular input into a classroom activity.
Yes, the drawing surface it a bit too high for the students, but this encourages them to tilt their heads back a little farther than usual and experience a alternate angle of their head in space.
If you look closely, and recruit a little imagination, you can see that some bat wings look like the letter, "M," and some look like the letter, "W." This helps you get started in drawing their basic outline.
Welcome to a spot to share ideas for working with students in exceptional education in public schools. Please describe activities you've successfully used with students to improve fine motor and self-help skills. Creative classroom adaptations for sensory-based and ergonomic needs are sought. Technology applications, low and high tech, are appreciated. Above all--be positive and professional in sharing your experiences and ideas. Thanks.
