About This Activity
We will learn and work on letters/fingerspelling, numbers and basic vocabulary, as well as some short phrases, including ways to introduce ourselves and ask and answer basic questions. We will learn and practice basic grammar and facial expressions. We will also learn a little about American Sign Language including the history and when, where and why it is used. Instructor: Audra Eckes Audra grew up on Long Island. After earning an MS in Deaf Education, she worked as a Teacher of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing in NYC, Long Island, and Maryland. She moved to NC in 2007 for her career but wound up becoming a bonus mom to a child who eventually needed to be homeschooled. So, in 2014, a new “teaching”/learning adventure began. Besides learning and teaching, Audra’s other interests include reading, writing, photography, dog rescue, and spending time with her family.
