Visual Spatial Relations Age Group : 6+ Laid out in a colourful and easy-to-use format, it is addressed to special education needs teachers, occupational therapists, logopedists, parents and schoolteachers who aim to support their children in developing and strengthening their skills. It introduces a set of games and activities that build and enhance visual perceptual skills in an enjoyable and interactive way! Visual spatial awareness denotes the ability to understand spatial concepts and directions, necessary for interacting with the outside world. It also involves processing outside information and reasoning with it through visual representation in the mind. Along with quantitative and verbal ability, it plays a key role in developing expertise in learning and work settings as well as in determining orientation, laterality and directionality. People with visuospatial deficits have poor performance in sports and suffer from coordination and balance problems. They can also find it difficult to perform rhythmic activities. Furthermore, they are clumsy and tend to reverse forms and letters / syllables, including “o” and”8” or “ma” and am”. The book includes, inter alia: 135 worksheets; activities aiming at detecting elements with or without a point of reference; activities aiming at detecting letters in several types of grids and tables; activities aiming at finding the appropriate boxes for two-syllable and three-syllable words; activities requiring learners to follow their teacher’s instructions and draw letters and numbers inside squares, as well as interactive games and activities. Visual perceptual skills influence several aspects of children’s development and everyday life, ranging from (mixed) motor skills to essential life aptitudes.

I can hardly believe our second week of school is almost over! I know most of you are going to start soon so I wanted to share what we have been up to this week: learning all about rules and laws! I used several activities from my new Rules & Laws unit. We started the week off reading the short book I wrote in the unit: Next, we talked about examples of rules and laws. We learned that rules are things we follow to keep us safe. Laws are rules that all people in a community must follow. We brainstormed examples of each and the kids filled out webs: The next day we read one of my favorite books, David Goes to School. The kids read along with me and we laughed a lot! I then gave the kids a sheet where they chose a rule, illustrated themselves following the rule and also what would happen if no one followed that rule: (helping others) (clean up my room) (pick up books) The next day we talked about how there are different rules depending on the setting (school, home, playground, etc.) The kids worked on a rule book where they had to write and illustrate a rule for each setting: (Don't run from school) (Raise your hand) (Listen to your Mom) (No throwing rocks) (Sit down and do not stand up) Today I read them one of my favorite books about rules: Please Play Safe! Penguin's Guide to Playground Safety. We just got a new playground so this book was a perfect way to review safety on the playground. Finally we created a class book about why we need rules: (we can stay safe and we can't be mean) (we could be safe and work and make us happy) (it helps us be safe) (something bad could happen) We had a great time learning about rules! If you liked these activities, check out my unit by clicking on the picture below! First two people to comment will get a free copy! Don't forget to include your email!
Linking up AGAIN with Collaboration Cuties for their Must Read Mentor Text Linky. The topic again this week is mentor texts for back to school... Personal Space Camp by Julia Cook is a great text to use toward the beginning of school when teaching kids what it means to respect each others' personal space. When my kids brainstorm their classroom responsibilities (rules), keeping your hands to yourself is ALWAYS shared, so that is when I choose to use this text as a read aloud. Amazon Synopsis: Louis is back! And this time, he's learning all about personal space. Louis, a self-taught space expert is delighted to learn that his teacher has sent him to the principal's office to attend personal space camp. Eager to learn more about lunar landings, space suits, and other cosmic concepts, Louis soon discovers that he has much to learn about personal space right here on earth. When Louis is at Personal Space Camp, he is asked to sit inside of a hula hoop. The area inside the hula hoop represents a person's personal space. I bring in hula hoops so students can stand inside and actually have the same experience Louis did in the story. This is a creative read aloud and results in wonderful discussions with the kids... If you have not heard of Julia Cook's wonderful books, click here to check out Amazon's Julia Cook Page. If you have, you just might find a new one you like... :0) On to my fabulous stumbled upon finds... Well, as I as writing this post, and got online to find a cover image of Personal Space Camp, I stumbled upon an image that then led me to a Pinterest board with a focus on counseling bibliotherapy (by Dianne Loyd). This then led me to another text that I had never heard of and immediately caught my eye... Which led me to another book by Linda Kranz (and the plush fish)... Which led me to oodles of art projects and another AWESOME art site... There's a Dragon in My Art Room AND this wonderful art project to accompany Linda Kranz's books... Which made me want to see if Linda Kranz had a website... Which is where I found these FREE goodies to use with the kids... (also available for You Be You) Needless to say, these fabulous stumbled upon finds caused me to order both of the books and the plush fish. HOW HAVE I NEVER COME UPON THESE BOOKS BEFORE TODAY???? I am REALLY looking forward to using these inspiring books this fall and seeing my kids unique fish masterpieces! Fly on over to Collaboration Cuties to read about more back to school mentor texts... Wishing you a wonderful week!

I often get a question from my readers - how to sew straight? In this guide, I will show you how to easily keep stitching lines straight. I will talk about topstitching mostly because keeping seam allowances equal is a different topic. Have you ever had problems with crooked stitching lines? I bet you had. Even intermediate sewists are struggling sometimes to do it and had to rip and redo stitching. But sewing in a straight line is much simpler than you think. And I want to help you to sew straight every time.
