Grand Ave. 3rd and 4th Grade Disability Unit

The third and fourth grade students at Grand Ave. have participated in activities in various classes to increase their understanding of what it is like to have a disability. In art, students watched several short films about a blind painter, a painter that uses her feet to paint and an artist that is autistic. Students then drew a picture and colored it using their feet or non-dominate hand. After working without their dominate hand we discussed the challenge of having a disability.
