We continued watching "Gridiron Gang."
Tuesday, 22nd
Today we finished watching the movie and did a label activity while we discussed the movie. The label activity included Mrs. Turner giving each student a label on their back and the student couldn't see it but all of the students classmates could. We had to show our classmates our label and they treated you accordingly to your label.
After the label activity we played a riddle game called "Annie is going on a picnic and is bringing an apple..." Each student was then asked what item they wanted to take on the picnic and if they brought the correct item then they could go with Annie to the picnic. To be able to go you had to say an item that started with the first letter of their name (ex: Annie taking an apple). The twister to the game was figuring out the what you needed to take. For many the activity was difficult and some didn't get it. We related this activity to the labels that student's have and live with everyday. After we learned about the barriers to education that students can have. (For example: Blindness, Dyslexia, and speech impediments.)

Today we participate in "Day with a Disability." We went through several activities where we were effected by a different disabilities. Each disability station had a different disability and and a different task to do. Some of the activities included writing with Dyslexia, walking on a tap line with Blind goggles, wrapping a present with one arm, and talking with a speech impediment. Below is a video of Kirsten walking on a tape line with the blind goggles.
