Quiet Crew - ASL Classes
Busy Hands, Busy Brains:
What if we could combine physical movement with muscle memory to produce powerful learning? Sometimes we need to change the way we teach to appeal to a variety of learning styles. Take a minute to consider how whole brain learning concepts can appeal to students and teachers. The Quiet Crew concepts are easily implemented into daily instruction and sprinkled throughout the classroom environment to appeal to kinesthetic intelligence.
Variety of Topics:

The Manual Alphabet (Mini-Series); Numbers; School Environment; School Tools; Circle Time; Calendar; Food/Eating; Kindness/Friendship
