My personal goals as a blogger of such a unique topic, is to learn sign lanuage, create a collaboration between SLA and PSD, and open deaf programs across the US. Though the question is how, I shall explain.

• Connect with PSD
• Raise money for PSD to present a Deafness Awareness presentation at SLA
• Find and Organize my supporters for the cause
• Establish a long-term relationship with PSD
• Organize activities with PSD
• Use PSD and SLA as an example and spread the word

It seems simple enough but I need your help, if you are an SLA student please contact me if you would like to get involved and make a different difference.

The Penn School for the Deaf (PSD)

For those who would like to make a difference and live in Philadelphia PA, you can visit, learn sign language, volunteer, and just get involved with this local school for deaf student k-12. For all ages you can reach out and make a difference.

Facts:
According to the PSD
    •    PSD is the 3rd oldest school for the Deaf in the United States and was founded in 1820.

    •    While some students have residual hearing that supports listening and spoken language skills, the majority of PSD's students communicate primarily through sign language.
    •    Academic abilities of PSD students' range from above average, reading at grade level, to students with significant additional disabilities.
    •    PSD promotes and respects student diversity and plans activities to heighten student awareness and sensitivity of the rich multi-cultural community that it serves.

Hay siempre dos lados a cada historia.

Outstanding yearbook balances are due to Mr. Reddy before Spring Break. To inquire about your current balance, please contact Mr. Reddy at sreddy@scienceleadership.org. You may also speak to your Advisor who has access to the list on Moodle. The Yearbook Staff is on the cusp of finishing the book for publication. It looks good and we can't wait to present it to the school in June. Thanks!

Este es un cuento sobre dos gemelas que piensan que sus marionetas pueden estar vivas en la noche, y ellas intentan a atrapar las marionetas en la noche.

“All right, class. For the next few days, we will be watching a movie.”

There are few things a teacher can say that can produce as ecstatic a reaction as the one we all have when we hear that. Of course, said reactions can be very different. One half of the class might want to learn from the film and the other half might want to use it to catch up on lost sleep. Obviously, teachers show movies for a reason and having a student fall asleep in class is never according to plan. So what do teachers do to make the most of a movie?

Mr. Kay shows movies in his class to “…help kids visualize a topic so that they can find it more accessible.” As far as the relevance of a class movie? “I find it effective, as long as I give them something to do while they watch…” To keep students on task, Mr. Kay’s method: “I don’t ask them to follow more than 5-8 minutes of film without me stopping to refocus them and ask questions.”

Stephen Holts, a freshman, got to observe this technique when Mr. Kay showed Troy to complement the class book: The Odyssey. “He’d pause every few minutes and make sure we know what’s going on, clarify a bit.” He found that this helped him focus.

SLA is far more advanced technologically than most schools and therefore, showing movies can be a great way to help students grasp a subject and perform better in class. Teachers also integrate videos from sites such as YouTube and the less-cool SchoolTube into their class. Videos are a welcome break from ordinary schoolwork for anyone, even when there’s work attached.

I created a web page for my Children's story.

Because i cannot upolad my iWeb or my podcast i will give a brief description of what my story is about.
My story is about a a little boy named Nick who discovered that Santa Clause did not exist on Chrsitmas Day. With his parents there to support him,he was able to understand that Christmas without Sana Claus is okay and the celebration can still go on
