US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner Level
Students will learn American Sign Language vocabulary for the Outer Planets. Learn the characteristics, atmosphere, moons, and unique features of the Outer Planets through ASL. Students need no prior experience or knowledge. I'll show and explain hand signs and repeat for greater retention. ASL improves retention of knowledge as it incorporates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning. Class length is 20 mins. It is my joy to share ASL as a second language and to help bridge the gap between hearing and Deaf communities. I love integrating science with ASL. Come sign with me!
