A Week of Activity

Disabilities Unit
To wrap up Literature, we spent time simulating different disabilites.  On Monday, we conducted a trust walk while blindfolded.   It was amazing to see how difficult everyday tasks were.  On Tuesday, we learned about Learning Disabilites and other disorders including dyslexia, auditory and visual processing, and ADD.

Sparrows Nest by blogger Colleen, edited by Mrs. R.

Mr. Trampe, from the Board of Directors came to talk to our class about our adopted project for chapel offereings.

Sparrow's Nest started about three and a half years ago.  They bought the house in July of 2013.
Sparrows Nest looks for any volunteer opportunities.  The handbook for the workers was published about 2 weeks ago and is awaiting state approval.  Eight people are able to live there under the age of 18 with house parents on site.  Sparrows Nest connects to other resources in the community for counseling.

Sparrows Nest have large events to raise money or get donations.  There is a 5K run in Frontier Park on the Katy Trail for Sparrows Nest to also raise money. See their website for specifics.
