This fun and engaging elective class will introduce children to the foundations of sign language such as fingerspelling the alphabet, counting, and learning topical vocabulary including colors, emotions, animals, foods, weather, school terms, calendar/time, and much more. They will become aware of some basic Deaf Culture. The instructor is deaf herself, is a great lipreader, and a self-advocate with lots of real-life experience to share! Students will be strongly encouraged to practice what they are learning in class at home through suggested activities. Classes will consist of weekly reviews, new vocabulary activities, games, and exposure to signed music and basic signed storytelling. At the end of each semester, each student will complete a cumulative project video recording of themselves utilizing many components of what they have learned in each semester. This is a year-long class.

This fun and engaging academic elective class will have students practicing their new found language skills from the first day of class! The class will explore a different theme each year as they learn about the Spanish speaking world. Students will learn Spanish through fun classroom activities and meaningful homework that will build their vocabulary and conversation skills. As an academic elective, this class does require weekly homework that does not require the parent to understand Spanish. This is a full year course.
