Beginning ASL (American Sign Language) Talk With Your Hands (Ages 7-10) Part 1

In this interactive 8 week course your child will be introduced to over 100+ signs that they can use everyday.  No prior sign language experience is required.  Our classes will be high energy and fun-filled while getting your child comfortable using their hands and face to communicate in sign language.  We will use flash cards, props, drawing, and various objects from your surroundings to learn signs.  Some introduction to deaf culture will be included.  Each class will have some practice homework.  We will review the prior class at the beginning of the current class.  

Please note:  Since sign language is a visual language, students will need their camera on during the class so that the teacher 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!
