Hi! My name is Dayna and I am an itinerant Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

I work with students who are Deaf\Hard of Hearing from 3 years old to age 21. I have taught in a self-contained deaf education classroom but for the last few years I have been itinerant and traveling to my student’s schools to serve them in the mainstream classrooms. This is my 7th school year teaching. I love working with all age students and I love the fact that every day is something different.

I started making my own resources a couple of years ago and it has been so fun and rewarding being able to create for all the other amazing deaf educators I have met over the years! I am so grateful to have you here following along for the journey! You can keep up with what is new by signing up below for my email list!
