Beep baseball

Can you imagine playing baseball when you are visually impaired? Our friend and Speaker for It's OK, Sherlock Washington, plays Beep baseball. A 16oz. softball with a speaker in it is used to help fielders locate the ball. Sherlock has organized a team that plays in Matawan, NJ. Check out the schedule at http:www.facebook.compages/New-Jersey-Lightning-Beep-Baseball/122422584434827?ref=mf. Sherlock, you continue to inspire us to pursue our dreams no matter what the obstacles.

Summertime

School is out! I plan to use the time to change the purpose of this blog. It will be a teacher to teacher blog, providing information on new childrens literature, news releases, music, etc. that are relevant to the It's OK program. As it continues during the school year, I hope it will be an information board for teachers participating in the program. A website of general information is also being developed and the program is now on Facebook. I welcome your comments and suggestions as I continue to promote teaching tolerance to very young children.
