Week 5

The k-1 class watched a video about the Indiana school for the Deaf. We talked about why residential state schools for Deaf people exist (years ago many cities didn't have interpreters or even teachers qualified to teach Deaf children) and reasons why fewer Deaf people go to residential schools but there is still a need for them. We compared them to Hogwarts and the feeling of community Deaf students feel there when they attend a Deaf school.

2-5 students watched a video about a Deaf artist named Jennifer Tandoc. Her work is very intricate, and many of her pieces have signing hands in them. She also hides a 9/F handshape in all her work, as a "Where's Waldo?" type of search game.

Both classes reviewed School vocabulary from the previous week.
