I'm teaching

Here it is: proof that i sometimes teach! This is the warm-up part of a reading lesson about a blind man. (perhaps you know the story? it's the one in the bible where Jesus heals the blind man. It's in chapter 7 of the Grade 4 reading textbook) So I'm making a couple of the kids 'blind' so they can see what it might be like to be a blind person. I made the first kid cross the room to meet me, which he successfully did. But he wasn't able to give me a high five, and on the way back he walked straight into the blackboard - none of his classmates yelled out for him to stop!

Then I gave some kids different things to try and guess what they were. A sponge, a shell, and here is Kenneth, about to guess the silly putty. (He guessed clay, which I thought was pretty good. These kids have never even seen silly putty.)

This was part of my team teaching with Mrs. Sarabia.
