Today we had a special visitor come and talk about Muscles (MDA) We spoke about how our bodies all have things that are the same as other people, and things that are special just to us. 
We practiced saying,Muscular dystrophy. This is a disease that makes it hard for kids to walk. It makes their muscles weak. But they still like to have fun!
The visitor asked the children: Is everyone’s body the same? No! There are tall people and short people and round people and skinny people. Can everyone’s body do the same things? No! Everyone’s body works a little bit differently. Some people can’t walk, so they use wheelchairs. 
When the special guest left the children had many questions. We decided 
it would be special if the children would draw pictures that show “what’s special about
me,” each child explained his/her 
drawing to the class. This 
afternoon Morah Gail mailed all the pictures to the MDA visitor: the envelope read “Everybody’s Different — And We’re All Special!”
Shalom,
Morah Gail & Zack
