[blindkid] Questions about rulers and perpetual calendars

[Olivero, Treva]

Hi Wendy, 
There is a device called a click rule that measures within a sixteenth
of an inch. We sell it in the NFB Independence Market. Our NFB training
centers use it in shop classes to measure accurately.

Also, the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults has created
Braille 2011 calendars. You can also find them in the NFB Independence
Market at:

P.S. It takes one text! You and your colleagues can support the programs
of the National Federation of the Blind by making a $10 donation by
texting the word BLIND to 85944.

Subject: [blindkid] Questions about rulers and perpetual calendars

Hi!
    As part of our 4th grade math curriculum, our students need to use
rulers that go down to 16ths of an inch AND perpetual calendars.  Does
anyone know where we can locate Braille versions of these? 
     We and our TVI have not been able to find anything.  We tried to
make a ruler, but with no success.  When we tried to type in the
perpetual calendar to emboss it, it got all garbled and unusable.
Although I am sure it could be sorted out, it would be very
time-consuming.  We are hoping that someone knows where we can purchase
one.
Thanks for your help!
