today in class weee

Today in class we got to interact with the adults from oppurttunities unlimited. WE took them around campus and took pictures that represent good and bad work habits to have. Once we did that we came back to calss and did different stations. We had one station where wefilled oput a form about different level of intelligences. WE also had a station to build a fort and one that we played with play-doh. We also had a station that we wrote a story as well. I personally did not get to that station. i feel that we did this because each station had a differnet intellegent. The building the fort was something that was more bodily and makes you get up and move around. The play-doh station was a good one to try to look into your self and try to make a model of something that represents me. The intelegence station helped you to maybe realize what inteleggences that you may be stronger or weaker in. I dont know what we were supposed to do in the story center but im pretty sure it was a way to try to show things through writing and storytelling.
i had a great time during this experience. It was great to be able to interact with these people because a lot of us have not had a lot of interaction with adults who have special needs. At first i was a little reluctant to participate but my group all felt very comfortable which in turn made me feel inturn secure. We were partnered up with Melissa who was extremely quiet. She hard;ly talked at all but we kept on her trying to make her feel more comfortbale and wanting to interact with us a lot more.
