Helen Keller

This is my afternoon class working on their book reports. In the past few months I've been reading a short version of "Helen Keller." They love the story.

It amazes them how Helen learned to talk and listen by putting her hands on a person throat and mouth. Also, seeing with her hands was a big hit.

I wonder if they'll remember the story in a couple of years. I don't remember much or anything about first grade. Do you?


Here one of my students shows Helen reading Braille.
