Recently in the DT7 classroom was a beautiful reminder of how powerful inclusive learning can be. 💙

Students were exploring and learning about shadows and were completely engaged in the activity. Ms. Jane signs for the kids—a skill she learned because her daughter is hearing impaired. It was a special moment watching the children learning, connecting, and experiencing the lesson together. 🌼
