My librarian asked me yesterday if I would be willing to help her with a
project she is doing. she is taking related books and materials and making
"Kits" out of them that our local teachers can borrow to teach in the
classroom, sort of like a thematic unit of sorts.
Anyway she asked if I could come up with the ideas for materials for one on
blindness. Or disabilities, or guide dogs, and or all three, smile.
The challenges are I need books, preferably five of them, that are in
paperback or fairly light to carry and are still being printed, smile.
I am also supposed to come up with a manipulative or two and activities. I
have origami guide dogs, and some Braille activities from the Braille bug
site, to share. What other goodies do you all think I should add.
What Manipulative do you think would be interesting, and fairly small for
the bag.
I was thinking a slate and stylus, or a kiddy cane, or a "Pop A Cell" from
APH, or... well... smile, not sure yet.
I am also having challenge finding books on blindness for kids that are
still in print.
I would really appreciate the help, and of course our librarian also does,
smile and the teachers in Corry.
Thanks for the ideas.
We want to make one kit for younger students, like K through second or third
grade, and then one for the older students, fourth to say sixth.
