Teaching Kids In My Class
Today I was able to teach my classmates about Alzheimer's disease. I used the smart board and did a presentation. I explained to the students a little bit about what the disease does to the brain and the ways that people with the disease act. I then read the book: Why Did Grandma Leave Her Underwear in the Refrigerator by Max Wallack and Carolyn Given. After reading the book I answered lots of questions from my classmates. I even found out that a boy in my class also has a grandmother with the disease! I did not even know that, we never talked about our grandmas!
I would like to thank my teacher, Ms. Zelwinder for letting me do my presentation!
