Beginning American Sign Language (ASL) - PART 1

In this interactive 8 week course we will meet for 25 minutes once a week, and the students will learn and practice over 100+ signs that they can use in everyday life! No prior knowledge of Sign Language is necessary. Our classes will be fun and exciting while getting your child comfortable using their hands and face to communicate in sign language. We will use, props, drawing, and various objects from your surroundings to learn signs. Most classes will have a fun song to sign along to and practice what we've learned.

Please note:  Since sign language is a visual language, students will need their camera on during the class so that I can see if they are forming the correct hand shapes and facial expressions.

I teach with positive reinforcement and high praise for any and all effort by the student. We will have fun while we learn!
