Impaired Senses

Today, we learned about sense impairments to our hearing such 

as being hard of hearing and deaf.

Also, impairment to our sight such as being 

nearsighted or farsighted.

We talked about how these impairments would make learning in our classroom challenging and things we 

could do to accommodate these children.

We practiced using sign language like those 

who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Many students shared their experiences with 

struggling to learn when the board or their work was 

blurry.

Many shared experiences going to an optometrist, eye doctor, for 

a eye exam and/or with 

getting glasses.

We also talked about the importance of seeing 

an optometrist once a year

to have our sight tested as it plays such a large role in our learning.

If your child hasn't done one already, 

you may want to book your child in!

Here is the sign language sheet we used.
Those who have been working on sight words,
may have fun using this as another 
activity for memorizing those sight words!
