This week we had two visitors from the Perkins School. Jamie Lard, a woman who is deaf-blind, and her assistant, Christine, spoke with us on Wednesday. Jamie shared about her experiences growing up without sight and hearing. She showed us photos taken at various points throughout her life, as well as a video of how she performs certain daily routines in her own home. The children had wonderful questions for her, and they all seemed quite inspired by her story.
We are finishing up our biography papers! This has been a long, yet rewarding process. Children used their laptops for this writing piece. Using the computer program Kidspiration, each student took notes and wrote drafts on the computer. Several students commented that the use of the laptop made the writing process much easier!
In math, we have been learning about telling time. This can be a tricky concept, but all students are doing extremely well with it. They are all very motivated to learn this skill!
The next several weeks will be extremely busy! Please mark your calendars with the dates below.
