PGP Points

I have all my PGP points now and am certified until 2014, What a great feeling!! Time to get started on the next PGP points.  I just attended the Indiana Deaf Educators & Educational Interpreters Conference.  I took all skill classes and felt empowered to continue to work on my skills!  This was a great experience and I encourage all interpreters and Teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to make this a conference that you don't miss!!

Indiana Beach and the Zoo...

What a way to end the school year!!  All students with good behavior and no missing homework got to go to Indiana Beach for a reward !!  It was a really fun day and the students had a great time!!

Then on the last day of school the whole 7th grade class went to the Zoo!!  What a great way to end the year it was cool enough out that the animals were all out.  The day went smoothly!!  Until next school year, have a great summer!!!

A Finished Art Project!

         What a cool art project.  The student really enjoyed making this and its poster board shaped into a letter.  The assignment was to create your initials there are three, first, middle and last initials of the students name.  A very fun and creative project.  Paper mache' paint and texture made up this project.

Being a Good Advocate

Sometimes we just have to be a good advocate for our students.  The student I work with doesn't have a computer at home and thanks to PC's for Youths.  This student is getting one this summer!!  When it was announced, I asked the student if they had a computer, no was the answer and...now they will!!  This student can continue to be successful.  We had to have parents fill out the application and teachers to.  When the student brought it back to school, I had an envelope ready for the student to address and then we sent it out through the schools mail.  What an excited student when they found out they had been excepted!!  It's always exciting when things work out!!!
