Helen Keller biographies and Sign Language Lesson


The Super-Stars were learning about Helen Keller. We listened to biographies about her life.



 Our young scientists were using their five senses to observe and learn about many things. We were so happy to have Mrs. Donna Rieser visit our classroom to share American Sign Language with us. We learned how to sign many words like: quiet, mom, dad, girl, boy, bathroom, hello, and good-bye.
