Exceptional Children's Month
This month at Big Shanty we are celebrating Exception Children's Month. We are learning more about the disabilities that many children in our school struggle with on a day to day basis. Our challenge is to create a banner recognizing a famous person who has overcome their disabilities and done great things in their lives. Our banner must include a short bio about this person AND include this years theme of Raising the Bar. Below is a list of many famous Americans with disabilities and links to learn more about them!
Albert Einstein
Galileo
Mozart
Leonardo da Vinci
Wright Brothers
Cher Bruce Jenner Tom Cruise Magic Johnson Walt Disney Alexander Graham Bell Woodrow Wilson Thomas Edison Whoopi Goldberg John F. Kennedy Pete Rose Robin Williams Dwight Eisenhower Beethoven Sylvester Stallone Jason Kidd Edgar Allan Poe Henry Winkler Danny Glover Charles Schwab
