(Melody #028B0114)
Melody had a busy week with The Gordon's! It was standardized testing week, everybody's favorite! LOL Luckily, we also began rehearsals for our big production of "Salute to South Carolina", a play highlighting the best our state has to offer! We enjoyed including Melody in learning songs about our state and dances such as the twist, and our state dance, the shag. She also traveled with the class to all of our special classes, like art, music, pe, etc., and she went home with a student for the weekend. The students did an excellent job brainstorming ways to include her and altering our travel routes to accommodate her.
My class expanded on their understanding of empathy that began during our reading of "Out of My Mind" through the more hands-on activity of having Melody with us. I was impressed with their ability to articulate to other students and teachers what the project was about since we were the only class at my school to participate in GRA. They were also able to make connections with other books and personal experiences throughout this project.
