. TOPIC (Grade K) Getting to Know You: Learning from Each Other
T h
Writing is next. This is what I type on my Brailler: One day I’ll run, and the wind will push me, and the sun will shine on me, and I’ll feel like a bird that opens her wings and flies. Only I’ll fly with my feet. :
Today it’s Chyng’s turn to type her name on my machine. “The dots feel like goose bumps,” she tells me, and I laugh. “That’s how I read,” I say. “I see with my fingers.” Reading used to be hard before my hands learned the way. So was climbing a tree—and swimming. Because in the beginning, all I did was fall. And sink. And not want to do it like I don’t want to do that cane. “You’ll learn the cane, too,” Ms. Turner told me. But she never said it would be a cinch. I know she’s here now. My nose knows her Juicy Fruit and the smell of fresh outside.
