We will be going over basic words and sentence structure appropriate for this age group! Since this class is ongoing as we have more and more confidence in the words we are learning we can add more and more. language learning should be fun and not frustrating so of course we will learn silly words and fun animals as well to keep everyone interested! Since ASL is a visual language we will be using a repeating and add method so we will review what we learned last week before we add more words, that way I can see what our friends will need help with ( repeating) and what we want to add. Research has shown that adding the visual and kinesthetic elements (American Sign Language) to verbal communication helps enhance our students vocabulary, spelling, and reading skills in the participating preschool children. I feel as though this class can have such positive effect on our students.
Learning Goals
My learning goal is to have the students start to be confident in using ASL. Of course no-one will become fluent but my goal is that we can learn the alphabet, and several words throughout our time together .

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! Nice to meet you! I am a long time nanny, preschool teacher and digital pod leader during this school closure. I am a huge believer in visual learning and helping kiddos learn in all different kind of ways. My philosophy is very simple when it comes to learning, people are more engaged when they are having fun, when they aren't even aware that they are learning! So for me my biggest goal is to make sure we are all having fun and taking something away from my lesson! I teach different art and sign language classes, both are a big part of my life and I can't wait to share my passions with you.
I have 4 kitty's that may make an appearance during my classes they sometimes like to stop by and say Hi!
