Linda Ray Intervention Center children beat the heat with a Water Play Day. Children use their senses such as taste, touch, hearing, smell, and sight to explore the different properties of water during water play activities. The Children's Trust of Miami-Dade County has made the summer program at the UM Linda Ray Interventions Center possible. Thank you for your ongoing support in making brighter tomorrows for the children of our communities. #earlyeducation #brightertomorrows #miamischools #summerfun #miamidadecountyschools #univmiami #um_lric_kids #psychology #childpsychology The Florida Department of Education Miami-Dade County Public Schools

Last week, the Miami Lighthouse Music Program Summer Camp had a field trip to Zoo Miami! 🦁🐘🦒🐒 Where students have a vision disability, they are able to learn through touch and hearing — this field trip gave students the opportunity to engage in tactile learning with animal skeletons, while a Zoo Miami instructor spoke on animal facts. Thank you, Zoo Miami! Together, we prove it's possible to see without sight! 💙 Zoo Miami Foundation The Children's Trust of Miami-Dade County Florida Division of Blind Services #MiamiLighthouse #ItsPossibletoSeeWithoutSight #MiamiLighthouseMusicProgram ALT: video clip of students at Zoo Miami, with some students standing with a Zoo Miami employee who is holding an animal skull and discussing animal facts. The Zoo Miami employee can be heard saying "Although they have these big teeth they do eat fruit". #ZooMiami #MiamiZoo #VisualImpairment #Blindness #SupporttheBlind #TactileLearning #DisabledandStrong #DisabilityPride #MiamiLeaders #CommunityLeaders #MiamiNonProfits
