Hello Room 29 Families, On Wednesday, we participated in our first Understanding Our Differences program! This was the first of two UOD programs that we have in third grade. Wednesday's program focused on learning about people who are deaf or hard of hearing. With the help of parent volunteers, students had the opportunity to engage in small group activities as well as hear a guest speaker discuss his experiences growing up deaf. Students were introduced to the different parts of the ear, some causes of deafness or hearing loss and different forms of communication. In small groups, students learned how to sign the alphabet, practice lip reading and explore tools that people use in their daily lives. Check out some photos from the program:
