The students will go home with a CD of all the signs they learned throughout the week. This program is open to anyone interested in attending! Each week the students will learn basic signs related home, school, food and weather. We will have a deaf person come in and tell about their background as well as interact with the students. Each day we will touch on pieces of deaf culture; Deaf President Now, social behaviors, idioms, cochlear implants, and audism.
