Welcome to our family class! I hope you're excited to learn how to talk about your family in American Sign Language! I will use PowerPoint for this lesson. Students will also be given a handout of the words we learn. They may print this list to use for later practice. I will also attach a video of myself signing the words for them as well. We will begin our class with introductions. Students will be allowed to share one interesting fact about their family. They do not have to share anything if they do not want to but all will be given the opportunity. Next, we will see if what family signs they already know. I will allow students to share one family sign that they already know. After that, we will learn our list of family signs and how to form the following sentences: - "I have a mom, dad, step-mom, step-dad etc." - "I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers.." - "I have no brothers or sisters." - "I have 2 grandmas and 2 grandpas." - "I have 2 aunts and 1 uncle." - "I have 6 cousins." * (Each answer will vary depending on each child's family.) We will finish our class with a review time. I hope to see your child in my classroom!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Trinity Baptist College
I have been signing now for almost 12 years. In college (2009-2014), I had a deaf roommate. That caused me to pursue fluency in sign language. Even though I got my degree in Elementary Education, I took ASL classes all during college. Along with that, I completely immersed myself in the world of the Deaf. I attended a deaf church, deaf camps, and several interpreter conferences. Along with all of that, I learned most by spending every moment of my free time with many interpreters and deaf friends. I would go to deaf activities such as game nights and Starbucks meets with my local deaf community.
After college, I received my Florida interpreter certification and worked as a sign language interpreter for several years. I interpreted for college classes, church, chapel services, staff meetings, video relay services, concerts, appointments, training etc. I also taught sign language to high-school students for 3 years. At times, I have also taught elementary students at schools, camps, and churches. Some classes were one-time classes while other classes lasted for one week. I am currently teaching a deaf children's class at my church. I also have many deaf friends that I communicate with on a regular basis.
