Motivation Monday

This week, we studied Helen Keller. She was a girl born deaf and blind, whose determination to communicate with other was inspiring. Despite her disability, Helen changed the lives of many through her public speeches and demonstration of kindness. “The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or even touched- but must be felt with the heart.” The students brainstormed what this might mean and concluded that perhaps Helen was referring to things like love and kindness. I think they might be on the right track!


The students enjoyed this task. If your child is interested, I read the students this story from the book, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls. There is also a version for boys called, Boys Who Dare To Be Different.
