Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten
Beginner Level
**Welcome to ASL Adventure: Sign, Sing, and Play for Ages 4-6!**

In this exciting class, young learners aged 4-6 will embark on a journey of discovery as we delve into the magical world of American Sign Language. Each week, we'll explore a variety of fascinating signs from different categories, learning over 20-40 new signs to enrich our communication skills.

Our engaging sessions will be fun and creative. Through the power of music and games, we'll learn to sign words and connect them in memorable ways. Visuals, demonstrations, and interactive activities will make the learning experience enjoyable and effective for your little ones.

No prior knowledge of ASL is required; all that's needed is a willingness to learn and a desire to communicate with our hands. I'll guide the children step-by-step, demonstrating the signs and explaining how to form them with their hands.

Here's an overview of our class format:

**Greeting:** We'll begin with a welcoming song and practice fingerspelling in the first week.
**Review:** We'll recap words from the previous week to solidify our understanding.
**Break:** A brief intermission for bathroom breaks and refreshments.
**Learn New Words:** Each week, we'll explore exciting new signs, often accompanied by items or stories, for a deeper connection.
**Song or Story:** If available, We’ll enjoy signing along to a delightful song or story.
**Review This Week's Words:** We'll wrap up by reinforcing the signs learned in the current week.

With over 15 years of experience as an ASL educator, including ten years working directly within the Deaf community, I bring a wealth of expertise to this class. In addition to teaching ASL at various preschools and private kindergartens in my local area, I also lead a music and movement program. I have firsthand experience using signs to communicate with my daughter, who is hard of hearing and also an Outschool teacher.

My teaching philosophy centers around creating a fun and engaging learning environment that fosters a genuine desire to continue learning. It is important to note that this class strictly adheres to a professional code of ethics, and no sensitive information or high-risk topics are covered. Rest assured; our focus is on providing an enjoyable educational experience that inspires a lifelong love for ASL.
