What we did in school

Dear families,

Today we had a visitor named Cecilia. She taught us some sign language, she showed us some dolls, and she taught us how a hearing aid works. She talked to us about people who walk differently, hear differently, talk differently and are blind. She let us feel a McDonald's menu written in brail. That's writing for people who are blind.

We also learned a couple of new sign language signs with our music teacher. Our music teacher, Hubert, taught us the signs for "stand," "sit," and "circle."

Today we had math books.

We're going to have a special snack in a few minutes. We are eating popcorn.

See you later, grownups!

  1. Hey! Thanks to all you first graders for letting us know what you've been doing. We're looking forward to hearing more about what your are learning about.
    Did you save any popcorn for us?
