Every Tuesday Nadia (Jorja's NZSL tutor) comes in and does signing class with us. We learn new signs and new sign language games. We do this because we have a profoundly deaf girl called Jorja and it is important that we all learn more sign so we can communicate with her. I am quite fluent in sign and want to do it for NCEA when I go to high school. I think one day I want to do Jacqui's job, which is to be a Resource Teacher of the Deaf. Jacqui comes in for 9 hours a week and works for van Asch.
I love this post Kirsty. You are so talented at communicating in NZSL and have worked hard at learning this skill over the years. I hope you do study NZSL at high school, work hard and one day do Jacqui's job. You would be fantastic at it.

Kia ora Kirsty, Just been looking for Snow white and the Seven Dwarves and your Blog popped up! I watched the production and have read some of your Blog contributions and it is clear that you are already thinking into your future which is great! You clearly are confident with signing for Jorja and those around you and you are an inspiration to us all. I sincerely hope that you do use your wonderful talent beyond Yaldhurst and wish you every success with your passion Kirsty! Tena Pai! Mrs T :)
ReplyDeleteKirsty: It always brings me great joy to come into your class and seeing you communicate in NZSL. Now there is even more joy in my heart to see that you may be inspired to set a goal for your future. How brilliant to think that you could become truly multilingual. Commitment, hard work and passion are all within your capabilities. Go for it!
