K-1 finished watching Florida School for the Deaf's version of Wizard of Oz and then watched some of their production of Snow White and the 7 Dwarves. Students were able to find signs in the stories that they knew such as FATHER, MOTHER, DAUGHTER, BABY,
2-5 watched the beginning of an award winning movie adaptation of Brian Selznick's book "Wonderstruck." This movie features a 13 yo Deaf actress named Millicent Simmonds as a young deaf girl in the 1920s who is isolated by her father's refusal to communicate with her so she goes off in search of her mother. This storyline alternates with that of a young boy who loses his hearing due to a freak accident during a storm and begins a journey to try and find his father.
