Using Braille and Sign Language

 This week, we focused on our third line of inquiry - HOW PEOPLE CAN LIVE WITHOUT ONE OR MORE SENSES. 

We learned about the lives of Louis Braille and Helen Keller. We got amazed by their resilience and their intelligence as they used their other senses to understand the world around them. We learned about the Braille system and made our own messages using braille symbols. We used round stickers to create bumps that our fingers can feel. :) We also learnt about Alphabet sign language and finger spelled our names. We learned some basic ASL such as greetings, introductions, simple conversations, and others.

We are still working on signing the We Wish You a Merry Christmas song. We will include this in our Christmas presentation. :)
