Today the kids were treated to three animal-themed books by Miss Ritha Burroughs, a retired special education teacher who spent her 44-year career at Helen J. Stewart School. The kids got to enjoy classics such as "Old McDonald Had a Farm" and "There Was an Old Lady Who..." both of which were supported with hands-on opportunities!

Dorothy is a retired special education teacher who make our story time interactive. She brought cowboy hats, bandanas, and books like Touch and Feel Ponies so the kids could participate and touch the books. It is so important for our kids to be able to use tactile learning skills in and outside the classroom. A huge thank you to Dorothy for bringing so much fun to our class!

The kids enjoyed the book "Crazy Pizza Day" and then got hands-on making dough with a little flour, water, oil and food coloring for a pop of color. They rolled, they squished and cut out shapes. All of these activities are great for increasing hand and arm strength and dexterity which will help our future braille readers. . . . #tactilelearning #pizza #crazypizzaday #nvblindchildren #blind #lowvision #visuallyimpaired #preschool
