Welcome to May! This year it turns out that April showers bring May showers. We are grateful for the rain, but sure had hoped to get outside and play. Hopefully June will bring some sunshine!
Our Sibshoppers created some Mothers Day Cards to honor their moms who give so very much to their families.
After our welcome and introductions, we spent some time down on our haunches playing some Crab Volleyball. Maintaining a crab walk position is a challenge even for our young able bodied Sibshoppers.
If you violate the no hands rule or go over the boundary, you must curl up into the scared crab position and maintain it for 30 seconds time. Our good friend is demonstrating the position below! :)
For our first discussion activity, the kids were asked to walk a mile in their siblings shoes. "Moccasins" helps our Sibshoppers practice developing empathy as they try to truly understand what it feels like to be their sibling with special needs.
We brought our fun "Color Guard" game inside due to the wet weather. We cleared some space and had some fun trying to get our colored eggs into the Color Guards basket.
After lunch we played a fun game of "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Cups!". This is a simple game that our Sibshoppers love. All you have to do is listen to the commands, complete them quickly and when "Cup!" is called be the first in your pair to grab it from the ground. It is so much fun! Try it with your families--you'll love it.
Talking out loud about our experience as a sib is sometimes a little daunting, so sometimes we just provide an opportunity to write about it. (Double click the photos below to get a closer view of our Sibshoppers responses.)
Looking forward to June! We hope to see you then.
