The Association of American Educators has awarded a classroom grant to LaWanda Brewer, deaf and hard-of-hearing teacher at Becky-David Elementary in St. Charles, Missouri. The grant supported bringing deaf storytellers Peter Cook and Nina Wilson to students in the Francis Howell School District to celebrate the St. Louis Storytelling Festival.
"They love to play and they want to be a part of the story," [storyteller Peter Cook] said. "At that age level they have a huge imagination. I take that and I incorporate sign language." AAE awards teacher scholarships and classroom grants twice a year.
