Ms. England's Class's Dorina Nowill Field Trip

Last week we had our very first field trip to Dorina Nowill. In class we have been learning all about the Eagle Way and overcoming challenges. We've discussed how challenges are different for different people. Some people have a challenge of not being able to see, and a person who cannot see is blind. In class we studied about Louis Braille and Helen Keller and how both of these people worked really hard to overcome challenges in their lives, and in the process helped many people with the same challenges. While at Dorina Nowill we met Edil and he read us a very cool story. Edil is blind, so we watched how he is able to use Braille to read a book. After our story, we had a special lesson to teach us how to read and write Braille. Then, we even had the opportunity to practice writing Braille on some special typewriters. It was very interesting!
