During our latest lesson, Billy got to have one more opportunity to work in his building. I think this last lesson was important to build his confidence and reinforce his skills. Amber and Billy both did excellent work teaching and learning. I like how Amber always kept trying new approaches and ideas for teaching Billy, and I liked how Billy never really seemed to get flustered, even though he navigated a really complicated building.
It was pretty cool watching Billy navigate his building after the blindfold came off. I’m sure he was just taking it all in, but he almost seemed in awe as he walked down the paths he’d taken quite a few times before. I did notice that at one point, when he was in front of the door to the big classroom on the second floor, Billy felt the wall. I’m sure he was combining the visual image of the wall with his tactual experience of the carpeted wall. It was cool to watch. I am really excited to see my building soon. I have some confusion about the first floor, but for the most part, I want to see if I’m right about all the rest.
