What would it be like for you to learn if you could not see? If you were a three-year-old learning remotely without toys in your hands, how would you learn? Now, what if you were a three-year-old with a visual impairment trying to learn remotely? Almost all of our students live in low income households. In addition, we have several students in our school who are visually impaired. My purpose is to purchase some resources that will specifically help our students who are visually impaired access academics and engage with their peers. The exciting news is these same materials will benefit ALL students during remote learning and when we go back to in-person learning. For example, a textured puzzle will help prepare a typically developing three-year-old to learn qualitative concepts like rough and bumpy. Manipulating the puzzle pieces to fit in the form will develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. By asking for guidance or turn-taking with a friend, children will increase their social-emotional intelligence. A child without vision would learn all the same skills plus prepare for accessing braille by exploring the puzzle with his or her fingertips.
