Highlights
Both classes have now had a visit from volunteers from the CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind).  They made each student’s name in Braille and we got to meet a guide dog named “Finnegan.”  Students also got to wear a mask over their eyes to help them experience what it is like to be blind.

Both classes also listened to a non-fiction story about dogs.

Homework

Reading- Paper books or Raz-kids book.  Students should be reading at least 10-15 minutes each night.

Word Study (spelling):  There will be a review quiz tomorrow on the following words (mom, dad, get, sit, do, did, play, run, this, ball, boy, my, how, when, then, tall, fast, girl).

Ask Me About:

How can people who are blind read?  (Use braille.)

Why is it important to ignore a guide dog (e.g., don’t call it, don’t pet it) when it is working?
