Hi, I'm Ms. Annmarie, and I'm so excited to tell you about American Sign Language, which is made fun for ages 5-7. This class is part 3 of Beginner American Sign Language. We will learn over 20 - 50 signs each Week from different categories. We will first learn how to sign the word, put it into a song, and play a game to help the children remember how the signs fit together. I will interact with the children during the class using visuals, demonstrations, and music. Next, we will learn to sign different stories. Learners do not need knowledge of American Sign Language; they just are willing to learn. My teaching style is showing and explaining how your hands will make the sign. I'm excited to see you in class! 8-week learning schedule Week 1: In the Home -Vocabulary for rooms, furniture, appliances, and activities in the home -Sentence structures for describing activities and routines in the home Week 2: Outdoors -Vocabulary for outdoor environments, weather, and activities -Sentence structures for asking and answering questions about outdoor experiences Week 3: Reactions -Vocabulary for expressing emotions and reactions -Sentence structures for reacting to events and situations Week 4: Greetings -Vocabulary for standard greetings and introductions -Sentence structures for introducing oneself and others Week 5: In the Community -Vocabulary for places and activities in the community -Sentence structures for asking for and giving directions Week 6: All About Feelings -Vocabulary for different emotions and feelings - Sentence structures for describing and discussing emotions and feelings Week 7: Fun Activities -Vocabulary for hobbies, sports, and leisure activities -Sentence structures for discussing and making plans for fun activities Week 8: ABC - Vocabulary for the fingerspelling alphabet and basic signs - Sentence structures for spelling and introducing oneself and others using Fingerspelling My class format **Greeting - We will learn how to sign a welcome song in the First Week of class!

I have been teaching American Sign Language for over 15 years. I worked in the Deaf community for ten years. I teach a music and movement program in my local area and teach American Sign language at different Preschools and private kindergartens in my local area. My daughter and I use signs to communicate as she is hard of hearing and an Outschool teacher. I aim to make learning fun so that learners want to keep learning.
