Today was another day that I spent in the fourth grade and second grade classrooms. For the most part I have been working with one fourth grade teacher, but today I was in a different class. In that class I ran the same kind of writing workshop and met with the kids separately to go over their research on their biographies. While in the second grade classroom today the kids were working on their "spirit cards" which depicted a scene from field day, and said what team they were on etc. However, when they were coloring, this one boy Henrik told me that he was color blind and that he had to read the colors on the crayons instead of just looking at them. I shared with him that my grandfather and brother are actually color blind too. Once I walked away he said that he was starting to feel confident with picking out the colors just based on what they looked like to him. However, green and brown look the same to many color blind people. So, when Henrik colored the background brown, I asked him why and he told me it was the field. I helped him change the color, but he was very upset and would not leave my side for almost an hour. After a while I told him a story about my brother being color blind and it made him feel a lot better, and I even got to introduce the two of them.
