You have all run a good race! The 2020-2021 school year has either ended, or is about to for some of you. It is cause for celebration for several reasons.
1. You are bona fide masters of videoconferencing.
2. You are troubleshooting experts of online platforms.
3. You have superhero fortitude and flexibility, weathering different changes in our nation.
4. Your smiles and positivity shine through masks.
As we transition into summer, keeping up the momentum of learning is important for academic retention. Encourage your child to read, read, read or watch, watch, watch. Our ASL Storytelling playlist has plenty for you to choose from. Pick a book, read it, watch it in sign, practice signing or speaking it. I also love doing a quick Pinterest search to find an accompanying craft. A strong language foundation leads to healthy outcomes and positive outlooks on life. It could foster a fabulous new skill in your child or student: performing, perhaps? We are looking for volunteer performers, up to age 22, to perform in the annual ASL Expressions show. Encourage those you might know to submit a sample video.
Keep up the amazing work you are doing, and stay cool during the hot Texas summer months.
