Students in Grade 1/2 are currently working on a unit of inquiry that focuses on non-verbal communication. Last week, we learned about the creation of Braille, started by Louis Braille in 1894. Based on the French alphabet, Braille created a writing system as an improvement to night writing. Once we learned about the Braille alphabet, we practiced writing our names and other words in Braille. Using 3D paint, we covered up the Braille letter patterns to create a raised texture so we could feel the bumps. Then, we tried reading them with our finger tips and guessing the word!
