At my niece Maiko's school, they started to teach braille, pointings-characters, to all the 4th graders from last year. Being so young and quick at learning anything new, she can now read, or hand-read, any Braille signs or messages in public places. I first wondered what's the point in teaching Braille to children with normal eyesight. After seeing that she seems to have grown up a bit through this experience, though, I changed my opinon. Does this sound natural?

A little unnatural

"To all the 4th graders from last year" should be "to all the 4th graders last year". "They started to teach" sounds better as "they started teaching". "I first wondered what's the point" should be "I first wondered what the point was".

Thank you so much for the correction!
I often get confused when saying start something/ doing something.. (from) a time..

Could you correct the following sentences?
1 Our school starts (from or at ?) the beginning of April.
2 I started my joga practice from January.
3 I started practicing judo in January. ( 'from' is wrong in this sentence?)
