My Project

Our ASL students are vibrant and enthusiastic! They have fun in their learning through conversations and group activities staying in the target language.

Our class is typically structured in centers to allow for multiple opportunities for language use in different modes.

Students would benefit from flexible seating, including beanbag chairs, loveseats, a coffee table, and floor pillows, as activities through the class period are varied and interactive.

The comfortability will provide them with a real-life lens giving them more confidence in their proficiency skills as they sign with one another, allowing a setting that is more conducive to language learning.
