A visit from Helen Keller

To support our current study of biographies, we welcomed a talented actress, Sheryl Faye back to Shaker Lane to portray the life of Helen Keller. Our generous PTA has sponsored this event for our second graders for the last few years.

In class we read Helen's story in our Journeys Book.

It was amazing to see the story come to life!

We were entranced learning about Helen's challenges and achievements.

Ms. Faye's presentation included the contributions of Alexander Graham Bell and Annie Sullivan. We read about them in class too!

We learned how to sign a few letters and words.

On our way out we had an opportunity to see and feel a book typed in Braille.

Thank you Sheryl Faye and PTA!
