Miss Nelcielo, you don't throw markers at blind people!

One of my students, M. is legally blind. She has some sight, but it is very limited. However, she deals so well with, occasionally I forget she has this disability.

We were playing Jeopardy in class to review for our Romeo and Juliet test, the students were in pairs with a dry erase marker and a personal white board. M. yelled out, Miss Nelcielo, my marker doesn't work. So, I did what I would have done with any other student. Pick a marker off the board in the front and toss it to the student. The marker hit M. in the forehead and fell into her lap.

M. yells out (with a laugh thankfully), "Miss Nelcielo, you don't throw markers at blind people!!"

OOops. Guess I missed that day in college.
