Greetings! I'm Amelia Ciarciaglini, your friendly neighbourhood EA. Currently based in White City, I split my time between Regina Public School Division and Prairie Valley School Division. However, I'm currently working with the fantastic kids in my 2/3 class at Imperial School. Spreading joy is my forte, and my secret weapon is the "ita bag" that showcases my vibrant pin collection. It's a hit with the kids, bringing smiles to every school I visit. Teaching wasn't my initial plan, but being an EA has become my passion. Each day, I find joy in making a positive impact on these young minds. Receiving gifts from the kids is a cherished highlight, and my collection of drawings and tokens from every school is a testament to the joy they bring.

Beyond the classroom, I'm a Minecraft enthusiast, and when it comes to music, I'm a triple threat, playing piano, bass clarinet, and ukulele as well as more. Despite facing a speech impediment and being able to be understood when I speak for eight years, I've embraced my unique journey. Though I once used ASL for communication, those skills have faded, becoming part of my story. In my second year of education, I'm majoring in social studies and minoring in English, with aspirations to teach psychology and broaden the horizons of young minds. Join me on this vibrant journey, where every note, pixel, and word weaves together into a unique symphony of life. Let's keep those smiles coming!

Along the colourful threads of my life lies a one-of-a-kind and strong tale: one of connection, strength, and the beauty of understanding. Every time I think about my trip, I keep coming back to American Sign Language (ASL). Follow along on this blog post as I talk about why I want to get back into ASL and how it changed my life so much.  I have a speech impediment , which makes talking to people a difficult dance. ASL became a lifesaver during this time, giving people a way to communicate when words failed. Its visual and physical qualities helped me connect with others, which led to better knowledge and less trouble communicating. Why ASL Is Important:  The American Sign Language (ASL) is a rich visual language that goes beyond spoken language. Sign language's emotional nature lets people communicate in a more complex way, picking up on details that words alone might miss.  ASL was very important to me during a difficult time in my life.
