🤟✨Sign Club “Silent” Lunch & a Special Send-Off✨🤟

Last Friday Sign Club enjoyed a fun silent lunch together while celebrating and saying goodbye (for now!) to our practicum interpreter, Miss W.

Miss W joined us at the start of second semester and has been such a wonderful part of our group. We’ve loved learning with her, practicing our signs, and sharing lots of laughs along the way.
While we’re sad to see her practicum time wrap up, the good news is… she’ll be back! 🎉

Miss W and Mrs. O are looking forward to restarting Sign Club on March 30th, when we’ll meet a few more times before the end of the school year. We can’t wait to continue signing together!

Thank you, Miss W, for your time, encouragement, and the joy you brought to Sign Club. 💙

Thursday was "Stick Around" pixel art in the library for Read Across America Week! The last two photos are where we started and where we ended for the day-there's still more work to do on our poster. Maybe it'll be done before break?!?
