FSDB Virtual ECC Interactive Learning Series - Winter 2020

Creative Minds Creating Thoughtful Creations 

"THOUGHTFULNESS IS THE OPPOSITE OF SELFISHNESS. THOUGHTFULNESS IS A FORM OF LOVE THAT SEEKS TO UPLIFT AND DO GOOD WHENEVER POSSIBLE”

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is excited to continue our Virtual Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) Interactive Learning Series for children ages 6-13 who are deaf/hard of hearing (D/HH) or blind/visually impaired (B/VI).

What are Interactive learning Series? -  Interactive family friendly lessons focused on areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum.

Expanded Core Curriculum:  

• Compensatory  -critical thinking skills, mechanics of writing and speaking  
• Social/emotional- evoking memories, communicating emotions, demonstrating the art of giving 
• Rec & Leisure- using your hands to create artwork, food, gifts, memorabilia

In this session students will receive a variety of materials, templates, and ideas. Students will use critical thinking strategies, creative thought processes and mindful memories to create items they will make to share with someone or many. The act of giving, creating, and sharing in mindful practices is good for the mind, body and soul. Come join us for this mindful event- Let's come together.
