All About Braille!

Today the students in Room 15/16 had a special guest come in to teach us all about Braille. Ms. Stephanie works as a vision teacher with students in the CBE. Together we watched a video about how and why braille was invented. A boy named Louis Braille invented the braille code in the 1800s.
We then practiced writing the braille alphabet, learned how to use a brailler, used vision simulation googles to try and complete a maze and even played games (like tic-tac-toe and battleship) that vision students enjoy in their classrooms! Here are some pictures:

Then, we got to explore a braille floor plan of our school!

Can your child tell you about the pictures below? How do these items help students who are visually impaired?
