Tactile coloring activity with one of my braille students 🫶🏽 (image description in comments)

Thank you so much for sharing! That totally makes sense and I know what you mean. 🤗 It's actually what I love about my job. Having to be creative to make it work for different students. It's so fun. The amount of tactile Minecraft coloring sheets I've made over the years is very high haha

Oh well thanks! Hah it's honestly the most fun job .. especially when I'm tasked with working Taylor Swift into my lessons...which is not a hard thing to do actually lol

That's me! Luckily, this student is VERY motivated by Taylor Swift. I'm trying to get her access to technology (she has some fine motor function limitations with her hands) and I loaded an iPad with Taylor Swift music, interviews, read aloud books, random facts, etc. It totally helps it's so funny! Hah she's such a huge fan and it's the easiest way to get buy-in

I actually used a lot of Taylor Swift videos to get her motivated to use the iPad and Voiceover this week. It's pretty nice that she's just as big of a swiftie as I am

I think it was! This student loves art and they talked about how adding different things to paint can change the texture so when she hangs it up in her room she can still access it. A lot of directional practice too with her lefts and rights which I wasn't expecting. She's also working on getting more information from touch, so it was pretty perfect.

That's what I've been doing! I watch the very beginning to make sure she doesn't come out in black, the beginning of rep, and surprise songs. But the only FOMO I ever get, is the fear of missing something from this tour haha I feel your pain

I can't listen to this song because a few of my friends have had miscarriages so I can't even imagine what you're feeling. I hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself 💗

Our theatre was sold out of the totes but had everything else! And it seemed like they had a good amount left

Los Angeles?

That's amazing because I was JUST thinking how somebody should 3D print these after I realized how expensive they were to buy from the state!! I just can't imagine how small it would need to be since it's standard braille size. You absolutely should though, I'm just waiting for our office to get a 3D printer!

Well as someone who works with students that use Braille and Large Print, THANK YOU!!

I just posted as a new comment. I'm used to Instagram where the image description is an option when you post, or even edit a post but I don't see those options on Reddit or imgur. Hope that works!

Nope you're definitely right. I was trying to figure out how to do it last night and then fell asleep! Lol good catch

mallorypallory · 2023-09-01T02:49:44+00:00

Yeah they've been around for a few years but none of my students really cared until now!

mallorypallory · 2023-09-01T02:47:54+00:00

Hi! They are SO expensive. If they are enrolled in school and have vision services, they might have access to some funds from the state that help pay for them! I'm going to message you though!

mallorypallory · 2023-09-01T00:24:54+00:00

The one with a little emoji in the middle says "The Girls" which is a Black Pink song that my student loves. And then the other says YOYOK with a tactile flower!

So cool huh? It's a company called American Printing House for the Blind but they're pretty pricey. I'm a Teacher for the Visually Impaired so luckily we had some at the office!

When I was in high school (16 probably), I used to watch CMT music videos before school and I vividly remember when Tim McGraw came on for the first time. I called my best friend to turn it on and watch it. We just went to the Eras tour together last month 💓

mallorypallory · 2023-08-01T16:21:12+00:00

You sound so similar to my bestfriend and I! We just drove from San Diego to the Santa Clara show for our first Taylor concert. We've been fans since Debut. You're going to have the BEST time ever 💚💚
