This was a fun set and really helped reinforce signs for my students.
My student really enjoy using this resource. They especially love the bingo game
Great resource to reinforce signs with my DHH students. Nice variety of activities.
My students enjoyed these. The only issue we had was some of the pictures can be hard to make out. Very creative.
Anything that you make related to holidays is the BEST! My students and the families loves them!
Great as usual!!
Hi, I support students who use sign language, and I’ve seen firsthand how hard it can be for deaf students in mainstream classrooms when they don’t have communication partners. I’m Heather, a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing. This is my 20th year teaching!
I recently moved from Idaho to sunny Florida with my family and our cat, and when we’re not working, you’ll find us outside—especially at the beach. 🌊 Just like the ocean connects everything along the shore, I believe communication connects every student in the classroom.
I have the knowledge, experience, and ready-to-use resources to help you teach your students to sign and communicate confidently with their deaf peers. I’ve walked this path—and I can show you the way.
