2. I will then pass out supplies sequentially to reduce confusion.

During Sensory activity time:
Students will be given the toilet paper tubes that they previously painted black with the
hole punches. They will be asked to sign, point, speak or visually attend a choice of
what color whisker and tail pipe-cleaners and pom-pom for nose. They will lace the
pipe-cleaner through the holes independently or through hand over hand. Students
will then be given the almond shape felt to draw irises independently or hand over
hand and asked to glue or point to where they would like the felt placed for the cats
eyes.
Student Practice: (20 Minutes)
1. Practice with oral language, signing or visual attention.
2. Practice with color recognition through oral language, signing or visual attention.
3. Practice with strengthening fine motor skills through painting and placing of stem and vine
with individual or with hand-over-hand technique.
