Each month, students are given a "Monthly Packet" to work on during their free time. It reviews work and skills that we have covered in class and students can earn a prize at the end of the month by successfully completing the work. For completing September's packet, students earned a Movie and Popcorn party.
We had been learning about Helen Keller's struggles as a young child with her loss of both her hearing and eyesight. In conjunction with our studies, I felt it was most appropriate to show Disney's remake of The Miracle Worker. It depicts Helen as a young child and the work her hired teacher, Annie Sullivan, did to get Helen to recognize words, language and the ability to communicate.
Ask your child to share their thoughts on the movie and what they learner about Helen Keller with you.
