Ability Awareness Day & Kindergarten Buddies!

On Friday we had Ability Awareness Day! It was such a fun morning for students and an eye-opening, wonderful learning experience!

First, we learned about physical disabilities. Students put on glasses and participated in tasks to learn about visual impairments.

Then, students put one arm behind their back and tried to put clothes on and open boxes! It was quite a challenge!

They also put socks on their hands and tried to tie shoes and complete puzzles.

We met two special guests with Cerebral Palsy! Thanks to those individuals for sharing their stories with us!

Last, we learned about therapy and guide dogs!

We also met with our Kindergarten buddies to learn more about the military! We focused on the Air Force! We read a story together and then decorated planes. These planes will be hung in the hallways of our school! The various buddy classes are learning about and decorating for different branches of the military! Long is going to look very festive for Veteran's Day in a couple of weeks!
