An activity that I can do in the class room
An activity that I can do in the classroom with my kids is I can bring in a wheelchair one day if allowed by the school and have one child sit in it each day and they have to use it all day. Once everyone in the class has done that I want them to tell me what it was like for them to sit in the wheelchair during class.
