Intro to sign Language
Teacher: Sarah Spoerl
|
AGES: 6-12
|
PERIOD 3 (11-11:55 AM)
|
Come join us to dive right into the world of sign language! I am a certified teacher for the deaf and am deaf-oral myself with a lifetime of signing experience. Section C is one of four introductory sections to keep students engaged and practicing sign language in a very functional way, with different topics. A working knowledge of the fingerspelled alphabet is a plus, but not required. We will review the fundamentals and jump into fun conversational topics such as animals, foods, school terms, sports, describing words and more! Review games and deaf culture elements will be shared throughout the semester. Custom-made materials will be provided by me. Handouts should be kept in a folder and brought to every class meeting for review purposes.
Sign Language Fundamentals
Year One
Teacher: Sarah Spoerl

AGES: 13-18

PERIOD 5 (1:30-2:25PM)
|
This course is an introduction to sign language and ASL grammar, deaf culture, deaf history and deaf advocacy. Students will master the fingerspelled alphabet, communication repair strategies, and various vocabulary terms across topics in order to be able to have a meaningful and successful conversation with another signing individual. The graded components of the class will be based on the student's receptive and expressive sign language skills. We will use printed assessments as well as some video assignments via Google Classroom. Students will get a transcript/report card at the end of first and second semester. This is a year long class.

Me gusta el españolTeacher: Vicki Thompson
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.
