We had a GREAT time making Lava Lamps on a STEAM It Up Friday. They turned out amazingly! The kids made some predictions that were really perceptive. Love these kids! #hesdpride

We were doing a metaphor study in ELD today. I asked the kids to come up with metaphors for each other’s favorite features. They were all SO kind and thoughtful and talk talk talking. It was beautiful. Sigh. You have to love kids! #hesdpride

During Italy's quarantine, Italian tenor Maurizio Marchini wanted to do something to spread joy amid all the sadness in Florence. So climbed on to his balcony and serenaded the entire town. Wow. https://t.co/yVgADAU9bt
