What is the Louis Braille Fact Poster?

⌄

One page titled Louis Braille, 1809 to 1852, the inventor of the braille code. It shows the word braille written in braille and gives 5 facts: he was born on January 4, 1809, in a village in France, an accident hurt his eye at age 3, he made a code of raised dots at 15, each letter is a cell of up to 6 dots, and people around the world read braille today.

Can I use the Louis Braille Fact Poster at home and in the classroom?

⌄

Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

How many 2nd Grade to 5th Grade International Day of Persons with Disabilities resources are there?

There are 28 International Day of Persons with Disabilities resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our International Day of Persons with Disabilities activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

What age are International Day of Persons with Disabilities resources for?

⌄

These are written for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 7-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Can I use these International Day of Persons with Disabilities resources for homeschool?

⌄

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
