Science

We continue to learn about how we use our senses to learn and stay safe.  Today we tried a "blind walk" with a buddy so students could appreciate how much we rely on our eye sight.  As well, students were introduced to the story of Helen Keller with the first 25 minutes of the 2000 Disney version of The Miracle Worker.  There was much discussion and some interesting insights as students tried to comprehend how this 6 year old Deaf-Blind child could learn.  We also talked about the word "Miracle" and what it means.  For our purpose we settled on something amazing, wonderful or difficult to believe.  I told children that we will be witnessing the miracle of new life after Spring Break.  Ask your child to tell you about it.
