Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

For the last two years, I have been slowly teaching myself very simple sign language to facilitate and improve instruction for one of my students. She is hearing impaired and she is absolutely wonderful to work with. She has a severe intellectual disability, but she is slowly understanding sign language.

Because of her lack of dexterity, she has difficulty forming signs with her hands.

The items I am requesting will improve my instruction and her learning and understanding of sign language. While teaching her, she learns best using picture symbols. I have requested sign language books, pictures, and other manipulatives that will improve instruction and open a new world of learning for her.
