Melody in Franklin, Louisiana

Miss Anna's 6th Grade Class
V. B. Glencoe Charter School
United States
Franklin, Louisiana
(Melody #051B0414)
Melody experienced what it's like to be in the sixth grade! Melody JUST missed going on a field trip with us to the Louisiana Art and Science Museum, but she did get to experience some end of the year activities with us (like a crawfish boil)!
We discussed and wrote essays about what our lives would be like if we were in Melody's place. After a class discussion, we realized that our school is not completely ready for a child in a wheelchair, and that there are many things we would like to do to fix that. We learned that many things we LOVE to do would change for us, like drawing, playing football, or even just playing video games. We also talked about how we would try to change ourselves (as we are) if we had a classmate in Melody's condition, and how we would do our best to welcome her and make her feel like a valued student in our class.
