Read In
We had a Read In on Friday. This was a reward for all of the students hard work. The children got several opportunities to curl up with a good book throughout the day. The class was reading so quietly you could have heard a pin drop! At the end of the day, they were asking when we could have another Read In. It makes me so happy to watch them enjoy reading!
DASH Speaker
On April 13th we welcomed KR back to Steward School. KR is deaf and explained to the students about her life, told them the story Mandy and taught us many new signs. Most importantly, she taught us that her life isn't really that different from a hearing persons. We love learning from KR and she is always a perfect ending to our DASH Program.

D.A.S.H.
During the past two weeks the class learned about people who are deaf or have a hearing loss during D.A.S.H. The students learned about cochlear implants, hearing aids, FM systems and how to protect their hearing. They were very excited to learn to finger spell their name and play "Go Fish" using sign language. Most importantly, the students came away with an understanding of what it is like to have a hearing loss.

| We got to use a F.M. System. Children with a hearing loss use an F.M. System in school to help them hear their teacher. How can you protect your hearing? -Wear ear plugs if you attend a concert or are near a loud sound -Lower the volume on your Ipod -Lower the volume of the TV and radio |
A BIG THANK YOU to the D.A.S.H. coordinators and parent volunteers. This was a wonderful learning experience for the children!
