Funded Dec 27, 2022Thank you so very much for your generous donation to my classroom! The students were so excited when they realized the materials came in. I explained how individuals as well as businesses had taken their own time and resources to donate to our classroom in order to receive these hands on learning materials. My students even spoke about how when they were older and had money of their own, they would like to "pay it forward" and donate to causes they were passionate about as well!
After learning about the dangerous impacts alcohol can have on your brain and body, my students got to experience first hand how much alcohol can affect their vision, balance, and control with the Fatal Vision Goggles. The students were divided up into groups and completed various tasks with the Vision Goggles. These tasks included walking on a straight line, throwing and catching a small ball, tracing different words, shuffling and handing out a deck of cards, among other smaller tasks. They truly got to feel how largely being intoxicated can influence your movements and reactions. It made for an extremely engaging lesson!
The next steps for my students on a current classroom project would have to do with the impact vaping can have on your mind and body. Vaping has unfortunately become such a large issue with youth today and it would greatly benefit my students to have an engaging lesson on how vaping can impact their health. We will certainly be learning about these impacts in future lessons.”
With gratitude,
