Pre-K Beginner Sign Language Topic Classes (ASL)
What's included
2 live meetings
50 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
In this fun and interactive class, we will spend time going over the proper way to make hand shapes to represent various topic related words using American Sign Language (sports, animals, feelings, transportation, food, etc.) The first day of the week will involve learning the topic words. The following class we will spend time applying the signs from the previous class making sentences and doing various activities either together as a class or in partner groups. The best way to remember new vocabulary is to use them in practical ways and through repetition. Learners in this class will engage in activities to practice the new signs they just learned. Activities may include partner practice, flash card-style practice, repetition, and visual cue practice. No prior knowledge or ASL experience required, I will teach you everything you need to know to learn how to sign various fun topics using ASL! If there is any extra time I will take requests over specific signs not covered in the class.

I am certified to teach American Sign Language, I taught levels one, two, and three in public high school for seven years before deciding to stay home after my first child was born, and I absolutely loved my job.
