Today's Learning Highlights:
Scientists in room one and four have been learning about the sense of sight. Today, we looked at understanding how people adapt to the world when they do not have the sense of sight.
Ask your child about the Braille alphabet.
Students can use this video link to review the invention of the Braille Alphabet.
First, we tried reading with our eyes open.
That was easy peazy!
Now let's try with our eyes covered.
Then we created a journal page.
We practiced what our name would look like and wrote three facts about the invention of Braille.
Our last step was to create our names using beans. We followed the Braille System based on a rectangle made up of six dots, numbered pone to six, in a group known as a Braille cell.
Ask me about the process and how I was able to follow instructions.
