poses helped with balance and core strength for the kids, while also being a fun activity. We
have been doing a lot of ocean crafts in OT, but I also got to do some in speech today. We made
a fish and in order to get the colors and parts for the fish, our kid had to answer or ask questions.
She was primarily answering question about synonyms and antonyms. Then towards the end she
was asking person questions, like “What is your favorite color? What is your favorite animal?”
She made a pink fish with orange stripes and green fins.
Tuesday, I had food poisoning and did not come into work. Wednesday we started of the
morning making a jellyfish craft, where the kid had to color and cut on lines. In another session,
we made salt dough and the patient had to create a starfish. She had to use her hands to roll the
dough into five cylinders and combine them together to make the shape. She then had to take a
toothpick and poke dots and lines into the dough. Towards the end of the day was the last weekly
social for June. I put together cups of paint for the kids to use when they painted a sheet of paper
on the table, using a clothespin and cotton ball as a brush. I then filled three bowls with flour, a
tumbler with water, three cups with salt, and three cups with vegetable oil. I put all of this
together so that the kids could work in teams of two and make playdough. The kids had to take
turns holding, pouring, or stirring to make the dough. We then ended social group by playing pop
On Thursday, my first kid of the day wanted to make a crab for his craft so, I helped the
OT gather supplies for the craft. The kid loved making the crab craft and decided to name him
“France”. We had to work on his scissor safety because he was waving them around and
snipping at the air near my face. I only had one speech appointment today and it was virtual. So
we worked on reading and pronouncing “b” and “d” words. She is learning to differentiate the
two letters and not use them incorrectly. I then spent a couple hours learning one of the OT’s get
supplies together for the Fourth of July crafts next week. I had to cut and laminate some
activities. Then I also cut tissue paper into strips for toilet paper rolls that Shea and I painted
earlier.
Friday, Shea and I spent time taking down all the ocean theme decorations to prepare for
next week’s theme. We put up Fourth of July decorations in the lobby and made it look festive. I
printed up some activity sheets for next week. The baby room needed to be more spacious, so I
stacked a bunch of blocks up the ceiling. Shea and I lastly prepared a room for a new social
group next week. The new social group will be older kids, so we had to remove objects and lock
cabinets.
