#TVI Life My braille learner is moving to high school next term. Just taking a look around at stuff I have had posted in the little room off the library. Grateful to the librarian for letting us use the space and reminiscing about the things we've been through in here. I have a similar room in the library at the high school except that it's been a more permanent thing with my embosser, file cabinet. And storage shelves. I have already started making a table area for her to work on at the high school. #teacherforvisuallyimpaired #braillerocks #braille #brailleteacher #teacherforever #braillelearner #iloveteaching https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-HwzqHQMQ/?igshid=203m5scs82nm

Yay! So glad my braille learner received the braille magazine I made for her so she can continue reading tactile braille at home. I have been sending lessons in ink braille via email. Mom sent this pic. #braillerocks #braille #braillelearner #brailleliteracy #brailleliteracymatters #teacherforever❤️ #teacherforvisuallyimpaired #specialistteacher #iloveteaching #braillebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AbUgMjZNf/?igshid=8u4xqskiy2qr

Sometimes we have braille exercises and games on enlarged PowerPoint. It's a great way to review old skills that get forgotten or when reversals occur in a child with a mild learning difference who has low vision and is learning braille. This student knows most of these punctuation marks but confuses and reverses a few, so we have to review and think up fun ways to make the shapes memorable. For instance a braille question mark is an elf's left shoe. When the elf falls over he makes a low F with his right shoe which is upside-down. The elf shouts out an interjection which uses an exclamation mark-- also a low F. #braillerocks #brailleteacher #teacherforever❤️ #alwaysateacher #teacherforvisuallyimpaired #specialistteacher #braille https://www.instagram.com/p/B8PEE-mHLi4/?igshid=n4cxeqqzizfs

When you do all of the homework and you make an A on your quiz, you get to do fun stuff -- like make braille beads. I had to take home 11 beads to bake in my oven. Her last quiz had 11 items-- which earned her 11 bits of fimo-like clay. Next Friday, if I see five days of homework, she gets to paint them. #braillerocks #beads #braillebeada #braille #braillelearner #makingitfun #teacherforever❤️ #teacherforvisuallyimpaired #tvi #specialistteacher #specialistteacherforthevisuallyimpaired #visuallyimpaired https://www.instagram.com/p/B8JcE8nngyE/?igshid=rzx2jdgepon

I noticed a problem with distinguishing the words there, their, and they're-- the last not so much as the other two. But it provided an opportunity to review the term 'homophone.' If you can't do it in print then learning their braille counterparts can get confusing. So we backed up a minute, read a funny story using them, then played a game. She aced the quiz. #thatswhatimtalkingabout #braillerocks #ilovebraille #iloveteaching #teacher #teacherforever❤️ #teacherforvisuallyimpaired (at Zachary, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Ja29KHsBQ/?igshid=omb922a0i4oa
