UTAH SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND BLIND LEARNING SENSORY WITH PLANT AND SOIL SCIENCE

        The Plant and Soil Science class has been working with a deaf and blind preschool. The class has worked on building communication and sensory through plants and soil science. Before we began this adventure, we had an assimilation day, where the class was able to get a glimpse in the life of a deaf and blind person. We have had the group come and work with our students three times now. First, they worked with dry and wet soil, then progressed with various types of wet and dry soils. The last visit was enhancing the previous lessons, including plant and It has been a great learning opportunity, not just for the deaf and blind students, but also the plant and soil science class. Below, you will find our schedule.
