Monday-- On Monday we did a variety of activities to understand the difficulty kids have with disabilities. We did one where we had to put marshmellows in our mouth and try to talk/understand the other people talking for the kids with hearing problems. Another activity had us drawing a picture using our mouth for the kids who dont have use of their arms. We also had to write using mirrors, color with our eyes shut, put peanut butter on crackers without seeing, read a story in a foreign language, and use oven mitts to put fruit loops on a bracelet. We all then chose a disability to walk around with for the rest of the day.

Tuesday-- We had our senior picture, so we missed most of first period! In the last couple of minutes we went over some of the barriers to learning that we researched. Teacher cadets on character day!

Wednesday-- On Wednesday Mrs. Timberlake from Overbrook Child Development came in to talk to the class about autistic children and how she works with them. She presented a slideshow on different things we learned about autism. We also did an activity she would do with her students to help with sorting the different buttons.

Thursday-- On both Thursday and Friday we all visited different special needs classrooms to observe and work with the children. Some of which were autistic, mentally challenged, or just had difficulty learning.

Friday-- We continued to visit different teachers and classrooms. This is some of the teacher cadets on kappa delta cow day!
