Goal Setting, Scales, and Handstands!

So I'm a bit later than normal in posting this time around...I think my brain must have still been trying to recover from the snow and ice...or at least that is what I'm blaming my procrastination on! :)

First off, I was so happy to receive some home video footage of scale practice from Micah and Sydney!! They requested I put their videos on the blog - I love their courage and confidence!! Visit the following link to watch their hard work: https://youtu.be/waNIkctuchY

Dr. Brain came back in to review Lesson 2: Goal Setting. We talked about setting simple goals and working our way toward big/complex goals. We reviewed the home goal setting exercise and heard about some of the non-academic goals the students set. Most goals had to do with physical activity - which we LOVE! 

After reviewing goal setting, the kiddos got to practice their scales. Ladies first (always...right gentlemen?!) and then the boys. Then the "winner" from each practice tried to make it 40 seconds and they both achieved the goal, which surpassed the original goal of 30 seconds! Way to go Karoline & Branson!! 

After practicing their scales, the kids were ready to try some HANDSTANDS! There are some fun video clips of these...visit the link below! 

While we didn't necessarily introduce a new Executive Function this time around, we talked a lot about vestibular input. We learned about the role of vestibular input in our ability to move/balance.
