Let's learn animal signs! In this beginner's course, students will learn how to sign different animals that live in the rain forest. We will begin by learning how to sign the animal and we will practice each sign. Next, we will play a fun guessing game to review the signs we learned during the lesson. Last, we will learn the phrase,"What is your favorite animal?" and students will learn how to respond to that question by signing their favorite rainforest animal. Each student will learn the following words: rain forest, animal, tiger, leopard, anaconda, saltwater crocodile, black panther, frog, gorilla, monkey, toucan, butterfly, owl, tarantula, sloth, anteater, lizard, turtle, jaguar. Get ready to have fun with American Sign Language! I hope to see you soon!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!! I am currently a Kindergarten teacher and I absolutely love teaching and helping students learn new and exciting things. In my classroom, I teach math, language arts, science, social science, and many other things. Something that I really love to incorporate into my teaching is American Sign Language. It's a beautiful language that is expressive and fun to learn. My students truly enjoy signing.
I want to tell you a little bit about my professional background. I attended Berkely City College and that is were my Sign Language journey began. After I went to Laney College, I graduated and transferred to Cal State University: East Bay. While studying at Cal. State East Bay, I worked for Berkeley Unified as an interpreter for the deaf. Later, I graduated from East Bay and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies with a minor in American Sign Language. After, I attended the Teachers For Tomorrow program at Mills College. That's when my teaching experience in the classroom began and I've been teaching for fifteen years now.
I believe learning should be fun, engaging, and interactive. It should take place in a positive and safe space where students can thrive and excel academically. My goal is to create that positive space for my students to have a fun learning experience. I'm so excited to get started. See you soon!
