They are learning about their eyes and ears and how to communicate if an individual does not have sight or hearing.

As part of the communication unit, a speaker was invited to the classroom to present a lesson on sign language.

As a review of the lesson, the students practiced signing different words and his/her own name.

They also learned how to write their names in braille by using split peas.
