Learning About Decibels
How loud or soft is the sound?
What is it like to have a hearing impairment?
These are just a few of the questions we thought about. The children also learned about the challenges a deaf person faces. As you can tell from the quotes above, the impact of DASH is amazing. Your children were very thoughtful and will continue to learn about sound for the next couple of weeks.
