Eagle Update November and December 2019
Activities Galore During the Holiday Season
DATE: December 19, 2019
Mr. Jon Harding/Ms. Aundrayah Shermer
The highlight of the month…..
The students were thrilled to attend a special event at a local high school. Their peer attends a local high school part-time and performed in a jazz concert. He had two solos on the piano during the event. The songs played during the evening included: Peter Gunn Theme, Charade, It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t Got That Swing, and Oye Como Va. The jazz student played beautifully, and his peers were so proud of him.

A generous donation!
The Kansas City Sports Commission and Foundation have named KCBAS as the recipient of the Sports Legacy Fund to be used toward a playground. Reps from the Board of Public Utilities already delivered a check for $19k to the KCBAS. We are grateful for the support of these great organizations.

Highlights from the classroom…
Math / Science with Sandra Craig – Magnetic Letters as Manipulatives
Vocabulary worksheet sets often include one where the letters of a word are jumbled, and the student has to rearrange them. For the braille reader who has a kinesthetic learning style, try applying braille labeling to plastic magnetic letters. An inexpensive cookie sheet makes a suitable work surface.
Image Description: How many words can you make using the letters in “Thanksgiving”? Different colored letters (with braille labels) spell out Thanksgiving on a silver cookie sheet.
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
The Career Exploration class took a field trip to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to visit the Access+Ability Exhibit. The students viewed several inventions from the past to the present day created to assist those who may have a disability, such as the D.O.T. Braille Watch and adapted clothing.

Sweet Z’s Boxing Gym
The Career Exploration Class visited Sweet Z’s Gym at 2416 S. 34th St. in Kansas City, KS. The owner of the gym, Zach, showed the students the different types of punching bags in the gym and also let them explore the boxing ring.

Highlights in the ECC…
KSSB students stretched their public speaking skills by producing a theatrical production: The Mysterious Mansion of Mr. Uno. Ms. Valerie Mackey, from the Theater of Young America (TYA), facilitated the play through nine (9) weeks of rehearsing. The hard work by all of the students and staff was evident. Staff and students enjoyed the radio broadcast style of the production. Students read scripts, developed their character, and practiced speaking skills. When students reflected on their theatrical experiences, they said that they “learned how to play dead on a sound cue,” and “working as a part of a cast.” Parents and staff enjoyed seeing the final product. The students in the KSSB public speaking class are collaborating with Accessible Arts and the Theater of Young America to plan more theatrical productions in the future.

Tactile Maps
Students used tactual maps to set up tables and chairs for an event in the gym. They accurately set up two tables without chairs, two tables with five chairs each, and two rows with six chairs each.

Highlights from the community…
Garver USA donated Chain Reaction STEM Kit. KSSB was one of 100 schools across the country to receive this fantastic gift. The kit included manipulatives for use in science and math activities to create a more accessible experience. Thank you, Garver!

Caroling
The extended day program students gave thanks to the Kansas City, KS Fire Station Number 9, for their service to our local community. The students shared the joy and sang Christmas Carols for about 40 minutes to both the fire station and a local nursing home.

Highlights from across the state…
Festive indoor Orientation and Mobility lesson! This kindergarten student had fun practicing route shapes, using a tactile map, honing her cane skills, and utilizing sound localization to find the singing Elf on the Shelf!
