The Sign Club had a group of six students(who represented the 90 student in the club) go before the School Board and share what they had learned in the Club this year. All the Sign Club students were given a Certificate for their dedication to learning and how to communicate with others in a new language!! What a very rewarding year...I have even had student sign to me since school has been out...they see me at summer school and sign..."How are you?" and I sign back..."I am great, or happy or fine" That is the best reward of all!!! I will miss my Sign Club student over the summer. The plan is to continue Sign Club next year with the same group and maybe expand to another grade level, if there is interest. I can't wait!!!

Our last day of Sign Club, we celebrated with a program. The students chose the group they wanted to be in and then made their scenery and costumes. The students in each group came up with their own play. Each group then preformed their play using the signs that they learned in the last 5 months. What a great way to end this years Sign Club...the students loved the freedom and responsibility of this assignment. In the pictures above your can see the students preform some of the plays. We then went outside to eat pop cycles to celebrate our hard work!

The Sign Club was invited to share their sign knowledge with the School Board the following week.

Wow!! The year has come to an end. BITTERSWEET, it is always hard to say good bye and still so exciting for the students and their accomplishments. Here Coby is visiting the students on one of the last days of school...this was a reward for the classes hard work. The students loved their visit with Coby, Mrs. Elgi's dog.
