This "Teacher Wishlist" donation will be used to purchase The Elephant Game - ASL & Deaf Culture Activity Kit for TMS's American Sign Language Class.

From ASL teacher Lynn Meza: "This kit has fun, Deaf culture-related activities to use in ASL class."

The ASL & Deaf Culture Activity Series takes an innovative approach to the teaching and learning of American Sign Language and Deaf culture. Rather than separating language practice and culture learning into unrelated goals, this series introduces students to an in-depth examination of a Deaf culture topic through activities emphasizing language comprehension and production.

Students engage in language and culture-rich activities emphasizing communication, cultural perspectives, interdisciplinary learning, comparing languages and cultures, and developing life-long enjoyment of ASL and Deaf culture. This dynamic approach fosters strengthened ASL skills while deepening understanding and appreciation of Deaf culture.
