Week 3: Bilingual Literacy

On our 3rd week, we learned about being bilingual! Ms. Heidi Givens (of Daviess County Public Schools) taught us about English! We met at the Bowling Green Public Library and Heidi taught us all about the different types of English (in its printed form). Then, each KSSP kid picked a staff member and we paired up and went on a book hunt. Then, the child picked a book to read to the staff member they were with. It was a great time of reading and learning!

Then, we headed back to FBC and Wilton McMillan (Deaf) (of KY Department of Education) taught us about ASL! He gave us a great history of ASL and exposed the kids (and staff) to ASL ABC Stories. Then the kids had the chance to create their own ABC stories!
