Place of the month

In honour of your unique culture, my class has chosen the Shetland Islands as the Place of the Month for September.

My students range from 16 –22 years old and all have severe disabilities. The Place of the Month program was started to expose these students to the world around them and give them new experiences.

We will colour a map and a flag of the Shetland Islands to display in our classroom. We will have a party and serve foods typical of the Shetland Islands. Because my students are unable to read, it is a challenge to find visual materials to augment lessons.

If you have any brochures or posters they would be much appreciated. Also, we are looking for music sources.
