Blind Elementary 3rd, 4th, & 5th Grade
Curriculum
FSDB PE Track Day Program
Also once per week, students are encouraged to walk, jog, or run around the FSDB track during their PE class. Thanks to a generous donation, students are wearing a "talking pedometer" that records their total distance, steps, time, and calories burned. Please note that each student should be wearing sneakers and clothing for that day and provide their own reusable water bottle to drink from for track day.
