PROGRESS REPORTS ARE IN FRIDAY FOLDERS!
A TOUCH OF UNDERSTANDING
A TOUCH OF UNDERSTANDING
On Wednesday, our 4th graders had a wonderful experience with A Touch of Understanding visiting our campus! Students participated in activities designed to help them better understand the experiences and perspectives of people with disabilities while building empathy, awareness, and respect for others.
I was incredibly proud of our 4th graders! They were respectful, attentive, engaged, and did an excellent job demonstrating the Westlake Way throughout the experience.
Your student is bringing home a short survey provided by A Touch of Understanding. They have asked that families complete the survey together with their student to reflect on today's experience.
Once the survey is completed, please have your student return it to school. I will collect the surveys and send them back to A Touch of Understanding.
Thank you for taking the time to talk with your student about today's experience and for helping us continue these important conversations at home!
