He's grown up so much. He did his work this week. Friday we got away from the paper and went walking to get some rules for handling an ID cane. It means that he does not require a cane for the blind for constant orientation and mobility. He needs it to identify as a child with visual impairments. He knows the school. For field trips away from school I want him to take it for security in unfamiliar places and so others will know he needs consideration for his low vision. He gets so excited when introduced to new things. "Wow! I can tell when the sidewalk changes. I can feel it all the way up my arm!" #visualimpairments #teacherforvisuallyimpaired #TVI #lowvision #idcane #identificationcane #elementaryschool #teacherforever #specialistteacher #teacherspecialistforthevisuallyimpaired #canetravel #freenfb https://www.instagram.com/p/ChggcEMM0xF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This was taken last February. I can't wait to see my elementary boy in second grade! The kids return next week. He came to school every day and was so proud of his braille that he was teaching his classmates. The label on the old braille writer warns of not pressing Mrs. Perkins' ( the braille writer's name) without paper in it because it gives her indigestion. I wish you could have heard him explaining that and other rules to his classmates.#teacherforvisuallyimpaired #teacherforever #teacherspecialistforthevisuallyimpaired #specialistteacher #BrailleisMySuperPower #ilovebraille #brailleliteracy #brailleliteracymatters https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7qVKOpSrp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I found this tactile 'Rubiks Cube' from Amazon for my students with #visualimpairments . The #Chinese #braille on the box is interesting. My #braillelearners will get to check it out for #FunFriday. #teacherforthevisuallyimpaired #TVI #teacherspecialistforthevisuallyimpaired #specialistteacher #specialistteacherforvisuallyimpaired #ilovebraille #brailleismysuperpower #brailleteacher https://www.instagram.com/mskathy0724/p/CYUT5UoJ5Lg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last homework assignment of the year: It was a sheet about types of flowers in braille. She had to read about them and make a chart that showed 1) if the plant is easy to grow, 2) grown from a bulb or a seed, 3) needs sun or shade. She will attend 2 camps this summer so I gave her practice in the form of Gregory the Braille Frog Magazines for June and July. She made me work hard this year but I SO love it. #findingwhatinterestsher #brailleforkids #braillerocks #brailleliteracy #makingitwork #braillelessons #braillelearner #braille #TVI #specialeducation #specialistteacher #teacherlife #teacherforever #teacher4ever #teacherspecialistforthevisuallyimpaired #TeachtheWayTheyLearn #teachingbraille #blindness #legallyblind #partialsight #partiallysighted #lowvision #ilovebraille #teachingbrailletochildrenwithsight https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxs3tydHHQA/?igshid=192qrfvm8id6a

Clear braille labels on each month card for our calendar. Drawings all have clear simple lines. For a sighted legally blind child I don't want to forgo colorful pictures and making illustration connections. #thewaytheylearn #brailleforkids #TVI #TeacherofVisuallyImpaired #teacherspecialist #specialistteacher #teacherlife #teacherforever #teacher4ever #teacherspecialistforthevisuallyimpaired #brailleforkidswithsight #braillelearner #brailleteacher #braille #brailleforkidswithvision #braillerocks #ilovebraille #teachingbraille https://www.instagram.com/mskathy0724/p/Bvg2v06nR0j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uwfrv6sp4dpe

Braille/large print calendar all done! Thinking of using the space under the month for fun facts for each month. #brailleforkids #MsKathysClass #braillerocks #brailleliteracy #braillelearner #braille #TVI #specialeducation #specialistteacher #teacherlife #teacherforever #teacher4ever #teacherspecialistforthevisuallyimpaired #teachingbraille #blindness #blind #lowvision #ilovebraille #legallyblind https://www.instagram.com/mskathy0724/p/BvMppV5H-G4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q02v0t0nd3b

Do venn diagrams have to be circular? #IDontThinkSo In this case the African tale #FriendsForever is the frog shape while #TheLionandtheMouse is the #mouse shape. #TeacherofVisuallyImpaired #teacherspecialist #teacherlife #teacherforever #teacher4ever #teacherspecialistforthevisuallyimpaired #brailleforkids #braillerocks #brailleliteracy #braillelearner #braille https://www.instagram.com/p/BuW61RVHEQB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d1hii0h8511t

Alicia Alonso- Cuban born and visually Impaired ballerina. The story is in ink braille but the questions about the story are in tactile braille. #learningbraille #TeacherofVisuallyImpaired #TVI #specialeducation #teacherspecialist #teacherlife #teacherspecialistforthevisuallyimpaired #brailleforkids #braillerocks #braillelearner https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1xhFNngPn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b3gfya81jfia
