Message from Executive Director Margot Harrigan
Oster School, located in Campbell, hosts the Santa Clara County Office of Education's program for Deaf and Hearing Impaired Students (TK/K through 5th grades). Living Classroom is collaborating with the SCCOE this spring to bring Living Classroom lessons to all the students in the program. Our first lesson was Symmetry in Nature.
These photos show Living Classroom's Program Director, Alexis Li, leading the lesson with classroom teacher, Ms Deepali, as her interpreter.
The children caught on quickly and seemed to be enjoying having two new people in the classroom with them (I came along as Alexis' support and photographer). Alexis spoke to the students and paused while Ms Deepali caught up using ASL; it went quite smoothly with Alexis' excellent teaching skills showcased.
We are thrilled and honored to be sharing our lessons with these special students!

Living Classroom Donates to the Community
Living Classroom gardens have donated over 1,000 pounds of produce to local community service agencies since the shelter in place order was issued in March 2020. West Valley Community Services greatly appreciates the donations.
One community member has already reached out to our Executive Director thanking her for the Living Classroom Donation, "It is so thoughtful of you to think of us and our community who are going hungry in this pandemic. Thank you for donating to us. That is so very much appreciated." |
