We went to the gymnasium and had our hearing and our vision checked. There was a long line. They could only check two people at a time: one on hearing and one on vision. There wasn’t anything for the other people to do while we were waiting.
So, we went back to the classroom and got our calendars, and then went back to the gymnasium and wrote the numerals in on them.
When it was time to get checked, here is what happened: For the eye test, you put a piece of paper over your left or right eye. Then a woman pointed to a letter and you would say it out loud. She did this a few times, and then we had to switch eyes. For the hearing test, she had us put on a pair of headphones. The headphones were weird. They were metal, with one red side and one blue side. Then she pressed a button and it would beep in one ear. You had to put up the hand on the side where you heard the beep. There were about 5 beeps in each ear.
They wrote down how we did, and we took the papers home to show.
