Amelia learning about Louis Braille
Amelia’s class is learning about famous Americans this week. She came home sick yesterday afternoon and missed George Washington. I reminded her that she knows who is on the $1 bill, and that he is the father of our country, the first President. (‘Like Barack Obama?’)
Today, this art came home, and I just LOVE it!
She told me about Louis Braille making an alphabet and numbers for people who can’t see. And she demonstrated for me how people who can’t see can tell that her corn is the number 3. And if it is at the bottom, it is the letter X.
It is really cool and something completely new for her that she really absorbed.
This is the other art that came home today.
“This is all the different kinds of corn that make it so we can Braille.”
OK, almost there.

If you haven’t seen the movie “My kid could paint that,” it’s a lot of fun. Marla Olmstead’s website is very pretty. Of course this blog already let us know that Daph is the artist.
