The students have recently been learning about Helen Keller and others famous people who learn by using a special alphabet such as the Braille system or Sign Language as a way to communicate with others. It is very important to have the children understand that everyone learns in different ways but that they too can share their ideas with others who are slightly different from them. The children are currently learning how to write and see what their names look like in Braille and sign their name using sign language.
