Mandy Sue Day

We recently finished reading Mandy Sue Day by Roberta Karim as a whole class read-aloud to review Main Idea and writing a summary.

Students learned that Mandy Sue is blind but gets to enjoy spending a day with her beloved horse Ben on her own. Although Mandy Sue may have a disability, it does not prevent her from enjoying a variety of activities independently.

Today, students brought in various pictures associated with the story and created 5 different collages to depict what Mandy Sue can only see using her imagination. These collages remind us that no matter what, with determination and hard work, one can enjoy a special day doing what one loves.
