Lincoln Helps!

Ms. Thompson has put on a new club for Lincoln 5th graders. In this club we help the visually impaired shop at the Giant Eagle that's down the street. The first and second days were spent training, so we would know what to do and different ways they might like to us to help them with. On the second day Ms. Thompson brought in glasses that had black dots in the middle of each lens, or had been covered a lens with tape. She did this so we could see out of the shopper's eyes. Mrs. Thompson said that all the visually impaired people really appreciate us helping them. The first real day was very exciting. I was filming. As I walked around the store I saw how all the students would jump up to the opportunity to help if whoever they were helping wanted something. At the end, one lady was almost crying as she said how thankful she was for us helping her.
