Ability Awareness Day!
Our P.T.G. organized an awesome Ability Awareness Day for our third and fourth grade students!
Thank you all for an awesome day of learning.
The fourth graders went to see three different speakers that came to share their stories. Nancy Martin spoke to the children about her physical disability, Cerebral Palsy. Jim Dugan shared his experiences with the children surrounding the loss of his legs, a physical disability. The children got into wheel chairs and were able to have a better understanding of this type of mobility. The third speaker was Ginger Johnson; she shared information regarding learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.
The third graders went to see three different speakers in the afternoon. Kara Simmons and Esther Murray spoke about hearing impairments with the children and using sign language. Nancy Henry and Lucy McCalpin spoke with the children about individuals with visual impairments and the use of braille. The third speaker was Dianne Peters and her C.H.A.M.P. Assistance Therapy dogs named Jesse and Elliott.
