>> Well, it has been almost a week since our last meeting. Truly<br>
>> wonderful visiting with you all and getting to know everyone better.<br>
>> Here is a recap of the items we discussed:<br>
>><br>
>> 1. An idea of making braille fun was suggested with a braille BINGO /<br>
>> Scavenger hunt. To incorporate exploration and encourage braille use,<br>
>> it was suggested to have braille bingo cards created or a lists made<br>
>> and students mark off when they find something. Either some "braille<br>
>> graffiti or specific items.<br>

>> 2. It is looking like the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry is our<br>
>> most favorable field trip for Friday. I believe Bear (Chris Higley is<br>
>> looking into this)<br>
>><br>
>> 3. We need to have people start filling the volunteer forms so "i's"<br>
>> can be dotted and "t's" crossed. Here is the link to the form.<br>
>> <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdcHzdKsqGGfc6VZo1KLOXmSYM3Yeo6H75lH7hP2sC-YvHf4g/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdcHzdKsqGGfc6VZo1KLOXmSYM3Yeo6H75lH7hP2sC-YvHf4g/viewform?usp=sf_link</a><br>

>> 4. Here is the link to the registration form for our students. Share<br>
>> it widely <a href="https://nfb.org/form/bell-combo-reg" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nfb.org/form/bell-combo-reg</a><br>
>><br>
>> 6. I thought I had previously sent out Save the Date flyers. However,<br>
>> I cannot find them on my drive. I have sent an email to the national<br>
>> office and when I receive the flyers I will send them out immediately.<br>
>><br>
>> 7. Remember our BELL Training during the convention. This is a 2 hour<br>
>> training and we will have another in-person training in May or June.<br>
>> Dates will be discussed soon.<br>
>><br>
>> 8. Our next Zoom gathering will be on March 18th at 7pm. Please mark<br>
>> your calendars.<br>
>><br>
>> 9. We will have tables at both the NW AER conference and the WSSB<br>
>> Track Meet. If you would like Justin or I to talk to a group of<br>
>> parents or teachers please let us know.<br>
>><br>
>> Finally Angi shared with us a wonderful story about a student from<br>
>> last year. This student came to us knowing no braille at age 13. By<br>
>> the time she left the BELL Academy she knew the alphabet. Since then<br>
>> she has been asking to be taught braille at school. Her TVI felt that<br>
>> the residual vision she has was sufficient and there was not a need<br>
>> for braille. Angi helped the student advocate for herself through<br>
>> email. The result is that starting in February, the TVI said OK but<br>
>> that they would start the student at Kindergarten level. the student<br>
>> has progressed through the Kindergarten level, 1st grade level and as<br>
>> I understand things is well into the 2nd grade level of braille. Also,<br>
>> the student remembered the contraction for "and" as well as "the". The<br>
>> TVI was surprised as they had not covered that conraction yet. The<br>
>> student informed the TVI they they had learned it over the summer at<br>
>> the BELL Academy. Thank you Angi for sharing this. If I have it all<br>
>> correct, I'd like to share the story as it is with our National office<br>
>> as well as with the parents at our convention. This is a great example<br>
>> of lighting the desire to learn braille by being exposed in a fun way.<br>
>><br>
>> Have a great weekend and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.<br>
