Teacher Review
Upper elementary students in my Science Enrichment class learned so much from Mrs. Marcath as she presented her book, My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere With Me, along with details of how she worked with a team of people to create the book, and facts about how deaf individuals learn to communicate. Students were actively engaged the entire time by doing the sign language themselves as Mrs. Marcath taught them the proper hand formations for various words. Students had to use critical thinking skills as they imagined other ways deaf and hearing people can use sign language in our world. Students also got to apply what they learned by completing a page with sign language images directly from the book.
My students' excitement was evident as they couldn't wait to ask questions and learn more sign language for all the words they could think of. Students couldn't wait to communicate using their newly learned sign language when their classroom teacher arrived to pick them up. I even saw students using the new signs as they walked back to their classrooms.
All students and schools would benefit from this author's visit. Exposing kids to sign language raises their awareness of the deaf community and shows them how anyone can use the language to communicate. Her visit is sure to spark joy, excitement, and curiosity in all students.
