Welcome to September's Sibshop!
We created some fun balloon tennis racquets for our "trickle in' activity.
The kids had a little bit of fun trying out their new racquets. We sure hope they are sharing them with their families and everyone is having a great time playing some balloon tennis!
A few hula hoops and a large handful of bean bags made for a fun game of "Bean Bag Basketball." The weather was perfect as three teams competed to be the first to get 5 bean bags in their hoop.
"Dear Aunt Blabby" gave our Sibshoppers the opportunity to act as a special needs advice columnist. While many of our kids weren't even sure they knew what a newspaper was, we were able to help them understand enough to participate in this activity where they were the experts. They truly are the experts of what it is like to have a sibling with special needs.
We read different questions submitted to "Aunt Blabby" and our Sibshoppers discussed among themselves how they would respond. They gave wonderful, thoughtful and insightful responses.
After lunch, we watched this great video to start talking about positive self talk and the power of affirmations. Check out this video! It's great. We then created some positive self talk fortune tellers. Each Sibshopper chose their own affirmations to include in their fortune teller. It was awesome to hear what affirmations resonated with them.
They are indeed awesome, smart kids capable of doing amazing things!
See you in October! We've got our annual and totally awesome deaf blind simulation coming up.
