Since this class is geared towards younger children, the class will be taught in a mixture of ASL and English. While it is helpful if your child knows American Sign Language, it is not a prerequisit. My classes are relaxed and I try to make it as fun for students as possible. I want everyone to have fun learning. I will not have any games planned for this course. The first few classes will only be around thirty minutes then they will be lengthened to an hour. In the hour long classes, there will be games and other activities planned. In this class we will learn the signs for animals! Examples being: Elephant, Monkey, Alligator, Horse, Donkey, Chicken, Dog, Cat, and more.
Learning Goals
In this class students will learn how to sign different animals. In the thirty minute classes we will focus on animals they come in contact to on a daily basis. (Mouse, snake, dog, cat, horse, etc.)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Samantha Cox. I am planning to teach life skills courses, basic American Sign Language, ASL grammar, and more classes. I am starting with life skills and ASL. I have an associate degree in ASL and a BS in Interpreting. My associates degree is from Onondaga Community College and my B.S degree is from The Rochester Institute of Technology (Most of my schooling was done on the Deaf side of campus, NTID).
I have taught history, ASL, and science to my siblings who are between the ages of 3-14 and my older sister who is in her mid twenties. I did a service learning project where I taught a group of people basic ASL who ranged in ages from 8-50. I have done volunteer interpreting in religious settings and summer camps.
I also taught Sunday School at my church for around three years along with VBS.
I ran my own business on Etsy for several years which focused on sewing and knitting. I hope to eventually add sewing classes to my schedule.
Learning should always be a fun experience for everyone, including the teacher. We should all learn from each other. I am a laid back teacher, I prefer to go by what my students are remembering. I always start with the alphabet and numbers with my older students. With the alphabet in ASL, you can go far.
I was homeschooled my entire life and applied to 5+ colleges. I was accepted into all of them.
(Some of which include: Gallaudet University, Idaho State, Liberty University, Goshen College, etc.)
I got married June 5th 2020, so my name changed to Cox from Speed. I am also a mom of one girl and have a second child on the way.
Edit (9/24/2020): I have ongoing health issues that sometimes prevent me from teaching. Because of this I have running discounts that go up to 80% off of a single class. If I am able and don't have a schedule conflict, I add classes to the end so we can get the same amount of work done.Reviews
