ASL Spring Activities
=====================
As a teacher of the Deaf, you need spring vocabulary your students can see and sign, not just hear about.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing students need visual access to seasonal language to join in conversations about the world around them. Spring words like rain, garden, and grow connect to what students see outside and experience at home. This resource helps them learn, sign, read, and spell these words, and the take-home pages bring families into the practice.
Who is this for?
It’s designed for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. The range of activities lets you match pages to each learner’s needs.
Can I send practice home with families?
Yes. The black and white vocabulary charts are made for sending home so parents and families can practice the signs with their students.
What are the writing choices?
Besides the color and trace pages, there are three extra options with 5 pages each: sign language prompts with an English sentence, sign language prompts without one, and a small picture with ample writing lines.

Great resource! I liked using it when I used to teach ASL. It was a great review.
Love the fact I do not have to adapt with sign, its already there! Would love some new activities in future bundles.
My Deaf student used this resource alongside his hearing peers to learn new sign vocabulary and language.
Great resources for building Tier 1 vocabulary with my students with hearing loss
This has been a great supplemental resource to use with my DHH students! :)
This resource was excellent. I found it useful and my students enjoyed using it. It helped to build their vocab.
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.
