sign language for song "What a Wonderful World"

I would like to learn along with my PK4 students how to
sign the song "What A Wonderful World" & maybe do it in our
end of year program. I've only found a few videos, which
were included in sets (too pricey for me). I saw this done

Tomorrow I will have a deaf student join my fifth grade classroom. I would like ideas of how to promote a comfortable relationship with the class. Ideas, should I use name tags to help with introduction.

TWL Children tend to question or make fun of things they do not understand. If the student (and parent) are willing have him/her and the teacher of the deaf (or interpreter) give a talk about deafness to the class. If the student uses any assistive technology such as an FM system please share it as well. Many deaf students do not sign, if they are in f...See More

Hello, I am looking for anyone who can provide assistance to me writing an ASL curriculum for my school. I am starting a new course this year and plan to use the Signing Naturally series along with some other resources, such as Movers and Shakers for some Deaf history. Any ideas for curriculum and lesson plans would be great! Thanks

OK I am hoping that maybe someone else will find this site

Hi Staci,
Don't know of anyone in your area, but the club is a great
idea! I'm currently studying ASL & am really enjoying it:)

You might try contacting these people & seeing if they know
anyone. (Deaf community is a big part of residential schools
for the Deaf.) I just googled residential schoo...See More

Staci,
Also check with various churches in the area that has a deaf
ministry. See if one of them is available to do a club at
school. Videos are easier than books when trying to learn
signs independently. Check your public library and encourage
them to order some DVD, videos, etc.

Roles of interpreters and teachers are different. You can check
out the RID website for information about interpreters. In my
state, PA, any special education can teach deaf/HH students in
public school regardless of training in ASL. Which is
amazing...Has your friend looked into attending a deaf school.
