This year in Kindergarten, we have a student with hearing loss and in their class they have been learning sign language. This page has some resources to support that student and their peers as we do some learning at home. This is here as an option for all kindergarten students if you choose to explore and do some ASL learning. Each student will likely encounter, share a class, meet on the playground, and have an interaction with this child, so this is an opportunity for all to learn and communicate.
