A big thank you to the parents who came in last week to work with the class for DASH. The program cannot run without this parent commitment.
Every year, the DASH program introduces a different disability to students in grades 2 through 5 in the Tri-town schools. In 5th grade, students learn about physical disabilities, both gross and fine motor. Through simulated activities, students become aware of differing abilities and also of strategies to overcome a disability. Essentially, DASH strives to make students understand that even through our differences, we all have similarities.
Below are a few photos of our classroom working through the DASH activities last week, including simulations of various fine motor disabilities. This week we will work in the gym to experience gross motor disabilities and adaptations.
