SignWriting in Canadian School

[Gagnon et Thibeault]

Hi Val and everyone,



       You know that during two years, 11 Deaf students have been studying a 
SW course from Monday to Friday for 30 minutes (30 minutes x 5 days). One 
Deaf teacher is a difficulty to teach a SW course because there is a lack of 
LSQ reading and writing materials or resources.  Do not forget that the Deaf 
teacher has been teaching French, Math, science and SW courses.  She is easy 
to prepare French, Math and Science because there is a plenty of these 
materials. However, she is a hard time to prepare a SW course since she does 
not have a time,




          This year, the Centre Jules Léger (school in Ontario, Canada) 
accepts to offer a new LSQ course to Deaf students because one Deaf teacher 
and I have been developing the document of LSQ curriculum from kindergarten 
junior to grade 12th with the Ontario Ministry of Education.  This LSQ 
curriculum has 3 parts: Sign communication, SW reading and SW writing.  One 
Deaf teacher decides to teach "sometimes" (not everyday) SW reading and 
writing and to teach mostly a sign communication because she doesn't have SW 
reading and writing materials now.



       I am trying to work on developing a SW writing (handwriting).  It is 
very obvious not to be standard a written SW now. I mean that I create my 
own style of a written SW.  Then, I will give the document of a written SW 
to one Deaf teacher who will teach how to handwrite a SW to Deaf students.

Hello Andre!
Great to receive a message from you...How are you?

And how is the SignWriting project in Canada going? Is it continuing
at the school this new school year?

Val ;-)
