Very nice resource for winter vocab. My student loved coloring his own book and adding the signs. The clip cards are not something we can use right now but maybe in the future?

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.
