Day 50-something

So I have been out sick two days and caught in a whirlwind to finish my other class and start a new tutoring job. . .I am a distracted researcher! We are doing Braille Awareness week at school next week, and I'm really excited. My class is getting t-shirts donated by Zack's family (the staff and students can purchase them), and we're going to do different activities throughout the week. I am going to pull some of the books from the website previously listed on the blog, and I hope we can make steps to continue to narrow the gap between Zack and the other students. Our story in literacy today was about Braille (just a coincidence), and Zack came in just for the story. I'm not sure how much of it he was paying attention to. . .I think he has some of my germs, and when he doesn't feel good, it shows in his behavior. Hopefully tomorrow he will be back to himself. I'm anxious to see how it all goes next week (and this week with the preparations). I feel very much a part of it all as I am the only elementary classroom teacher with a blind student. . .kind of cool to have had the experience so far!
