The reading of novels will be encouraged and rewarded. Students will meet once a week for 4 consecutive weeks.

American Sign Language Course(s)
This is a spiraling curriculum for students interested in learning American Sign Language. Courses address both receptive and expressive skills needed to fully dialogue among the Deaf and hearing people who converse using ASL. Each course’s focus (there are three options) will be tapered depending on the age range of students participating. Students in the 4-Day Happy Hands course will acquire categorical vocabulary, the alphabet and numbers, and elementary conversational fluency. Students in twice-a-week Serious Signers Course can be sure to acquire all that the previous course teaches, as well as higher conversational fluency, a more well-round vocabulary, and lessons in Deaf Culture. Students involved in the twice a week Adult Course will acquire the skills taught in an entire year of Sign Language condensed into eight classes. Quizzes, Tests, and other homework will be administered; this course is to be considered rigorous but worth the challenge. *Note: ASL is now widely accepted as a foreign language in both high schools & colleges. To contact the instructor directly, please forward emails to Kendra Randall via: randallphotography@hotmail.com
