Week 6

Thank you for your understanding and kindness with my recent absence!

This week both classes watched a video about a young Deaf boy who is a wonderful basketball player and who had recently just joined a team where he was the only Deaf kid. The video showed how his hearing coach and teammates figured out ways to communicate.

Then we did a quick unit on Sports signs.

K-1 watched part of Florida School for the Deaf's filmed version of The Wizard of Oz. Students worked on pointing out signs they recognized.

2-5 headed to the gym to play my new fingerspelling/sign vocabulary baseball game to review our topics that we have covered so far. The kids were great at being guinea pigs. We hope to play again next week and figure out ways to improve the game.
