My Students

My students use American Sign Language as their primary language. Few students have full access to full communication at home, meaning that their time at school is crucial. We have the challenge and responsibility of connecting students and parents who do not necessarily use the same language. With many families that are use Spanish at home, some don't write in the same language.

My students are fourth and fifth graders at a Title I school in East LA.

They are bused in up to two hours to our school from all over LA in order to provide full support and access in our Deaf Education Program.

My Project

We're bringing a projector back into our class and need a pull down projector screen to make the most out of this wonderful classroom addition.

The screen will make the most out of the content we project to expand student learning.

We often lose our notes, as we tend to erase what's on the whiteboard behind the projector screen and use that surface in lieu of the current projector screen. We choose the glare spot reflected from the projected image over the small, old, yellowing screen that dulls and blurs the images being shared.

We are supporting students daily with visuals for both for current learning and to address the gaps in their background knowledge. Writing make English accessible to a reader. Videos and images make American Sign Language accessible to a Deaf learner. With this screen, we remove one barrier to accessible learning.
