Jacob Huss said, "It reminded him of another school where he got to work with some students who were in wheelchairs." Adara Armey said, "It reminded her of the time her mom and her were in the grocery store. They saw a couple of blind men and asked if they could be of help. They both declined, saying they were confident in theirselves.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03196344616944001037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119769200546156350.post-46550761472540875112007-05-22T21:12:00.000-04:002007-05-22T21:12:00.000-04:00Sarah,This reminds me of the time I first started ...Sarah,<BR/>This reminds me of the time I first started teaching at Indian Village. There were some lower functioning students in another room and my students were always making fun of them. Finally, I asked the teacher if we could get together once a week for games, reading, and math activities. She agreed, and for the rest of the year we all met and interacted. By the end of the year a few of my students were calling these same kids their friends and asking if they could help them with their work on a daily basis. Not all my students responded in this fashion, but I feel that they at least became aware that their disablility was something not to be made fun of. If any of your students would like to come and see our class snake don't be afraid to ask. Gracie told me to tell you HI. She still is the same height.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03196344616944001037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119769200546156350.post-47933530651295693202007-05-19T21:13:00.000-04:002007-05-19T21:13:00.000-04:00YOU GO GIRL....You are right- HE IS AMAZING!
